Ruth Symons' Bedtime Book for Bump is intended to be read to an unborn child.

Anneli Bray's adorable illustrations show all kinds of pregnant mothers from the animal kingdom, accompanied by lyrical text.

This would make a lovely gift for parents to start reading to their own amazing, developing bump.

I really enjoyed this book. It was different than anything else I've read recently. I couldn't put it down! I will keep an eye out for this author's future work!

Such a sweet book to gift an expecting mother! The illustrations are beautiful, and the book is a good length with thoughtful keepsake features.

Thank you NetGalley and Mayo Clinic Press Kids for this advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

I was drawn to this as I am waiting to give birth. The cover was very inviting and I like the concept as a way of connecting with baby before they arrive.
The book is a sweet little poem which i short enough to read every day. I would have liked a bit more. I loved the illustrations!

Such a sweet book- from bump to birth, as a doula I’ll be ordering a few copies for clients! Sweet story, beautiful sweet illustrations-
Such a good one!
