Growing Up Just Got Easier…With the help of Angus, the lovable Answer Dog, best-selling author Heidi Murkoff extends a hand to children and parents as they tackle life’s first experiences together. Congratulations! The new baby you’ve spent the last nine months preparing for has finally arrived. Although you may be prepared and thrilled, what about your older child? As your preschooler makes the transition from only child to older sibling, he or she will be excited, curious, and somewhat anxious about the little bundle you’ve brought home. We’re here to help you answer your child’s questions about what new babies look like, what they do and don’t do, and what having one around the house will really be like.Have fun!Heidi and Angus
