In Mommy's Tummy is a rhyming, lyrical tale told from the perspective of expecting parents. Intended to be read to a toddler audience, it walks the reader through the steps of pregnancy. From the excited moment of discovery, through the grand plans of clothes and nurseries, to sonogram pictures, debating over names, and the eager anticipation of birth, it is meant to help a young child understand how they became a part of their parents' lives before they were born. It is also meant to help toddler siblings understand what's happening with their parents before their baby brother or sister arrives. Artist and illustrator Ashley Bittner brings the expecting parents' world to life with vivid, colorful, expressive imagery. The combination of simple text and luscious artwork helps children visualize their parents preparing for their arrival, while evoking the warmth and love with which we greet the newest members of our families.

Inside Mommy’s Tummy By: Beth Rosiello Baby is growing in Mommy’s tummy! She hears the voices of her mommy and daddy and big brother, Sean—plus the barking of little puppy Diesel. She listens as the family holds a party to say “It’s a Girl!” And then she’s off to the hospital with Mommy and Daddy to finally be born and welcomed into the world by her family. Inspired by the birth of her granddaughter Brianna, Beth Rosiello’s book is a charming story of love and family, from the point of view of the baby on the way.

The flexible paperback binding allows for the book to fold gently across a mother's growing tummy, helping to show a young child where the new baby really is. The final spread uses a giant fold-down flap to reveal the fully grown baby ready to be born and greet the world. A wonderful book to help everyone prepare for a new addition to the family.
