Now that Mama polar bear has another baby in her tummy, Little Cub is bursting with curiosity. “Why do we need a new baby?” she asks. “If we don’t like the new baby, can we send it back?”
“Will you forget me when the new baby comes?”
Gently and lovingly, Mama and Papa assure their firstborn that the new baby is a gift from God they want very much, just as Little Cub was–and still is.
“God gave us you. Now he’s given us two!”
The winsome sequel to God Gave Us You, God Gave Us Two playfully affirms a child’s uniqueness and place in the family and helps little ones accept, appreciate, and love their new siblings.
I initially got this book for Nate, who is 2.5 and doesn’t understand at. all. that there’s a baby in my tummy and it’s going to come out and then he’ll be a big brother. For him, though, this book was a little long and wordy.
Kahlen, however, *loves* it! And really, I like it a lot too. It focuses on how things will change but how things will still be the same too. The illustrations are sweet and the words are positive and affirming, but real too in the changes that will come with a new sibling.
I would recommend this book to anyone adding to their family!

Again, I got this book to help introduce the idea of a new baby to my 2 year old, but I think this is better suited to an older child. It was wordy and I had to paraphrase what was going on in words she would understand.

As the eldest child in my family I know how delicate the subject of bringing a new baby in to the home can be. I have always worried how I would, one day, explain to my child that we were going to have another baby. I know the fear and anxiety a new baby can cause with children. I think this book tackles those issues wonderfully. This hardback book is wonderfully illustrated by Laura J. Bryant. The book takes you through the little cub's worries and fears of not being the only child anymore but in the end the little cub realizes that his parents will still love him no matter how many cubs they bring in to the family. I know now that when we decide to have another child I will have a great book to help get my daughter through any worries she may have over becoming a big sister.
