From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 3-Using bright, full-color photographs and an upbeat text, Douglas invites older siblings to watch a baby's first year of life from a scientific point of view. She describes a newborn's body, needs, and abilities, and encourages youngsters to make observations as the infant grows and changes. The text offers up-to-date information about a baby's ability to see and hear. Circular insets on each double-page spread present interesting facts, ask questions, and suggest experiments and activities. Combined with Joanna Cole's The New Baby at Your House (Morrow, 1998), this book should make the arrival of a new sibling lots of fun. An interesting approach to an often-requested subject.
