My Thoughts

This is a beautifully written and gorgeouslyillustrated book about a little boy named Augie. Augie has a big extended family. Augie does not have any siblings and one day would love one. To his surprise his mommy and daddy tell him that he will have a baby sibling. Augie is thrilled that his mommy and daddy are telling him this. They explain that while he will have a new sibling, he will be grown in a different oven. I loved the way they broke the use of a surrogate down to him. He gets to meet Julia who is carrying the baby. The explanation is a perfect way to explain how sometimes babies are born different ways. I loved the storyline, the pictures and this book made us smile. I read this with my 9 and 7 year old sons. They enjoyed it also.  

I received a copy of this book through the IRead book Tours - all thoughts are my own.
