Review of "My Dog, My Cat, My Mama, and Me!" by Nigel Gray

Here's a cute little book that gently introduces the idea of having babies. The little girl first notices that her dog is getting fatter and fatter until SURPRISE! O ne day she sees that the dog has had a litter of puppies. Then she notices that her cat is getting fatter and fatter until one day she sees that she's had a litter of kitties. Finally, one day she notices that her mommy is getting fatter and fatter until one day she brings home a new baby. The book keeps the young reader in suspense until each big event by hiding the picture of the newborns until a flap that you lift up to expose them.

If you need to try to explain the idea of pregnancy to your toddler, ages 2-4, you'll find a helping hand in this great chidlren's book.
