this book is adorable! the cat and dog take good care of the baby in their house, which they call "Bittle." And in the end, it's as if the baby loves them more than her own parents and shows it with her first "word." At least, this is the perspective of the animals in the book. I'm sure the parents were very attentive of their baby. Miles and Abel both love this book--they are high on the idea of a pet and this is stoking the fire. Hmm... maybe I should take it back to library. For now...
A dog and cat live a happy life until a little baby, "Bittle" enters the household. Yaccarino's illustrations are bright and fun and the descriptions of preparation for the new baby and the animals' reactions make this a good choice for children soon to have a sibling.
Nigel the cat and Julia the dog are very content in their home. When little baby items start showing up around the home, the wonder what's up. When the baby comes home, they are in for some surprises and a whole lot of fun! My second graders enjoyed this one.
The arrival of a new baby from the pet's perspective. I love it.
Really; so, so cute. And you have to see how Bittle and Julia are alike... So funny, so true.
Legomeister didn't care for this one much, but Little Miss loves it.

Oh so cute a tale of a dog and cat who sense the coming of a baby...and become her closest companions after their initial trepidation.
Dog: "We don't need a baby!"
Cat: "I think we're getting one."
She came home wrapped in a pink blanket.
Sweet & humorous.

I thought this was cute especially if someone is expecting a younger brother or sister in their family.
Cute story about a new baby entering the house and how the dog and cat adapt and eventually love the baby.
the sentence structure and paragrah style made this hard to read and keep a child entertained.
This sweet little book gives you the family pets' perspective on a new baby's arrival and how their special bond evolves. My 7 year old daughter and I really enjoyed it.
A precious picture book about a cat and dog slowly accepting the new baby.
Very cute story about a cat and a dog and the new baby in their life...
A great story of bringing baby home from your pet's perspective.
So cute! How a dog and cat get used to a new baby.

Perfect book for a child that is becoming an older brother or sister. The book is about Nigel the cat and Julia the dog they think they will have no use for the new baby in their house, but after a while they realize that they have come to love the baby.
The illustrations are very colorful and bright.

normally i don't really notice illustrators but dan yaccarino(sp?) is amazing. he does OSWALD as well. this book is tender and sweet about a dog and cat that welcome a new babe into 'their' home.
I love how the dog is female and the cat male, reversing the stereotype. Funny. I hope every family with a new baby is lucky enough to have pets as loving and clever as these.
The cat and dog in this book are great! The cat is so sensible and looks out for the baby, the dog loves the baby too. And why not, they both love the toliet!
This was sheer adorableness.
