Lola Reads to Leo (Leo Can!) Paperback – February 1, 2012

We got this book for our daughter during our second pregnancy and we loved having it. It was the perfect level for our 2 year old, talks about the concepts that are important and helped her understand what was happening in mommy's belly. We had a hard time getting her to understand the concept of a new baby coming and this book helped her build the vocabulary to be able to get excited about baby brother coming.

Brought for my granddaughter she enjoys these books have all of them

I bought my daughter several big sister books before her brother was born. This is far and away her favorite and the one that we've continued to read over a period of months. The pictures are bright and colorful and the story is easy to follow. The things the author highlights match up really well to my daughter's observations and questions. For example, her most common observation is that her brother "cries a lot" and the book does a good job of explaining why that might be the case and giving the big sister something to do to help.

I'm so glad that my librarian sister recommended this sweet story to me after the birth of my son. I also like "Lola at the Library," but I LOVE this book. My toddler daughter found such comfort in seeing how Lola coped with being a big sister and found ways to participate by reading to her brother. My daughter was inspired to read frequently to her new brother after hearing this story. I love that this book captures how busy life is with a new baby in a family of four. Also, thank you to the illustrator for tastefully including the mother nursing Leo in the story. Nursing babies is reality in many many homes and is quite confusing for many small children. This is a great "big brother" or "big sister" present for 2-5 year olds.

I was looking to add more diverse children's books to my library and stumbled on this absolute gem! I've gotten a lot of sibling books to help my daughter prepare for our new arrival, and this is the best! It offers practical ways parents and siblings can keep strong connections and make everyone feel loved when the baby comes. It is the sweetest sibling book, and I am so glad I have it!

Perfect how it shows that my daughter can do all these things to help with baby, so that she doesn’t just feel lonely in the world when baby comes. I want her to feel helpful and remembered at the end of the day and this book is perfect for that. She’s 3.5 and I think it’s great for her age.

I always try to find books appropriate for the situation...this book is perfect for my 2-year old neice who is expecting a sister soon!

My daughter loves this book and I believe that it helped her have a positive experience welcoming her baby brother ito the family and daily routine.
