On Mother's Lap

I liked this book immensely. As a parent educator, I would recommend it to parents who have had a second child and are dealing with the first born's adjustment and possible jealousy. It was a lovely narrative to air a first born's worry that the second born might usurp his or her place. Mother solves this beautifully by offering her lap to both children!

This is a lovely story for children with little brothers or sisters as it shows that their mother has enough love for all of them. The illustrations are beautiful.

Old fashioned. Short and to the point. Sweet book but it didn't grip my daughters interest.

Lovely book, great for my older daughter to understand, that having her little brother is enriching for all of us.

What a beautiful story and with lovely illustration's. My little girl loves climbing on my knew for a snuggle to read this book.

Beautifully illustrated but it didn't hold my 3 year old's attention unlike some of the other "baby is coming" books.

Lovely story, lovely illustrations, and nice babywearing picture at the end of the book. Recommended!

I bought this book for my toddler son to try and prepare him for his impending sibling! It is sweet, simple and he loves it. I was surprised to find out how long ago it was published- it feels very fresh and the message, about sharing love, is as relevant as ever. My son especially likes the the repetition of 'back and forth, back and forth they rocked.'Highly recommended!
