About this book

This is just the book to explain to inquisitive children what going on inside mum during pregnancy. Through a rhyming text, a toddler explains why his mum's tummy is getting so big, and what he expects to happen.

Soft, colourful pictures, full of domestic detail, contribute to the book's humorous approach, but also allow for discussion in greater depth, if desired.
