Precious little wordless board book about a big brother to be. The pictures do an awesome job of conveying the wonder and joys of a new pregnancy and becoming a big brother. The illustrations are bright and colorful. This book is bound to delight its toddler " readers".I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

I requested an advanced reading copy from NetGalley.I loved the fact that this book is only illustrations and that the author did this on purpose so that you and your child could create your own story about the baby belly. My favourite illustration is the one on the cover, it is so cute.I love giving books as present and this will be the book I choose, for anyone I know having a second child.#BabyBelly #NetGalley

This short, wordless picture book for the youngest children is absolutely delicious.  With delicate illustrations reminiscent of those by Helen Oxenbury, young readers watch as a young child observes his mother's expanding girth due to pregnancy.  The child tries to figure out what is happening.  He even tries to replicate the look with a balloon.  When the baby is born, he observes that his mom's back to her usual shape.This book is so very cute and can open the door to discussion on this life

It's really beautiful how this picture book is just that - a book with only pictures and no words, and it still succeeds in telling us a beatiful family story. This book could be great for children under a year, but also for toddlers and older children if you need to tell them you are having a new baby in the family.

The illustrations are great in this book but I am not a fan of wordless books. It is not a book that I can sit down and read to my children. I do like how a child can look at the pictures and understand what is going on but again, not something my daughters would enjoy.This book was given to me an an ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in an exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.

Wordless picture book about the coming of a baby brother/sister for a child point of view. Funny, cute and useful. Well done!

An adorable book for a toddler who will be getting a new sibling. It is absolutely adorable.There are no words in this book and they are not needed. It has the cutest illustrations about a boy who watches his mother’s belly grow. He even puts a balloon under his shirt so he has a baby belly too. When his brother is born, he gives him a ride in his wagon.This book made me happy. Every page conveys love – for the boy, his mother and the new baby. The characters are perfect and the colors a wonderf...

It is a cute little silent story.It shows curious young boy who watches her mother's belly increasing in size.And he has no idea why this is happening.It is a caption free story.Even my 6 years old son, could easily understand it.Illustrations are marvellous, cute and all depicting.A good graphic book for little kids.Art is the soul and strength of the book and it stands firm without support of captions.Thanks netgalley and publisher for review copy.

‘Baby Belly’ by Patricia Martin is an absolute delight of a book. The illustrations have a timeless feel and making it a wordless story is a genius move. What better way to have your young one able to “tell their own story” of looking forward to the birth of a younger sibling? And, without text, Mom or Dad can explain in their own words what is going on within the family. This would make a wonderful gift for parents to give to the soon-to-be Big Brother. Solid Five Star Read. A huge Thank You to...

Sweet stories about a kid that curious about his mom's belly that getting bigger, excited to have siblingIt's heartwarming, with nice illustration. Recommended for a birthday's present :D

Before you ask, yes, this is deliberately without text – I wasn't completely sure until I read the publisher's notes, for the e-file I saw came with no covers, title pages etc. So what I did get was just a very few pages, but pages that completely successfully showed a young child curious about that bulge that seems to be growing in the middle of his mother's body all of a sudden. Yes, the textless format is both a great way to get this seen across multiple international markets, and a conscious...

A young boy observes his mother's growing belly with both curiosity and trepidation.This wordless board book follows a young child's growing awareness of his mother's growing belly. He expresses both interest and apprehension. And once his new sibling is laying in the bassinet that he had side-eyed on a previous page, he notices his mother's stomach is flat again. The story concludes with him happily playing with his new sibling. This book would be great for introducing the topic of pregnancy an...

Absolutely adorable! The coming of a new sibling is explored in this wordless picture book. Perfect for the little ones about to become an older brother or sister.This unbiased review is based on a complimentary copy provided by the publisher.

This is a wordless board book. The main character is a toddler who is white with blonde hair. The mother is also white with blonde hair. We do not see any other characters. We see the mother's belly start to grow throughout the short book, which prompts the toddler to stuff a balloon under their shirt. This is a typical response of children to show being pregnant, although the age of the child in this book seems like they're too young to think of that themself. In one spread we see the toddler i...

This is a picture book without words. The illustrations show the coming of a new baby into the house. It's well drawn and will appeal to younger children, I'd say around toddler age, and you can use your own words to help them understand what's going to happen then leave them with the book to look through the pictures and absorb what's happening. At first I was a bit taken aback by the concept of a book without words, but I think in this setting it works extremely well. The age range it's target...

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.I just fell in love with this cover. Why was this boy putting a balloon under his shirt? I didn't even read the blurb until after I requested it, and that answered my question. I was happy I requested it and couldn't wait to get accepted and read it. And here we are!Recommended and review to come in January 2020.

I am a new mommy, so this cute little book grabbed my attention right away when I saw it on Netgalley. I loved watching the story unfold and found myself to giggle at the little boy's curiosity. I will definitely be keeping this book in mind for the future when my husband and I manage to grow another little miracle.

This book contains an overload of cuteness in it. It is so sweet and begs to be shared with wee siblings that are soon to become a big brother or sister. It is from the series "Get Ready Board Books" and is a Spanish import. "Baby Belly" is a wordless short book that highlights the observations of an adorable, curious little boy who watches his mommy's tummy get bigger and bigger and bigger as the baby inside of her grows and grows and grows. He's not quite sure what is causing the expansion.......

Cute wordless picture book for littles whose moms are expecting a baby! older brother, in the case of this story, wonders what's in his mommy's tummy; could it be a balloon? Mom's baby bump grows through the story, only to disappear once the baby makes it's appearance! And, of course, the toddler and baby up a bit to be best buds! I love the illustrations. Would make a nice gift to child who's going to have a new baby in their home soon! Could have been a bit longer, but now bad!I received a Kin...

*An ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*The illustrations are THE cutest! I've never been a huge fan of wordless baby books. They can be kinda boring to read, however, this one is so adorable, the lack of words is forgiven. To be fair, I've yet to see how my baby (or any baby) reacts to the story and how well just the pictures go over, but I'm very interested to see!If I had a complaint, it would be that this is too short!
