What's Inside Your Tummy, Mommy?: Non-Fiction, Informational


What's Inside Your Tummy, Mommy? written and illustrated by Abby Cocovini
Publisher: Henry Holt and Company, LLC
Pages: 22
Genre: Non-Fiction, Informational, Childrens Book
Rating: Thumbs Up!!
This is an informative journey for children (and adults!) on the growth of a baby when in the mothers uterus. In each set of pages, illustrations are drawn as if the baby is inside the belly/lap of the reader (book facing out towards the child with book on your legs/lap). Each stage of development is discussed, reminding of the size of the baby, the physical facts of the baby and the special needs of mom. The final page is a fold-out size of a full-term baby in uterus and then a introduction is given on how to interact with the baby once it arrives.
I really LOVED!! this book and wished it had been around for my daughter during my pregnancies. The pictures are draw in simplistic fashion and the information is presented in bulleted form. This makes the text easy to understand and follow and I gave it a "Thumbs Up!!"
