Bedtime Book for Bump (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798887701851)

This gorgeously presented keepsake is the perfect gift for expectant parents, allowing them to start bonding with their unborn baby.

By the third trimester, your baby's ears are ready to hear! Bedtime Book for Bump features a gentle rhyme to read to bump, beautiful illustrations, pages for you to personalize, and expert insights into pregnancy.

With an introduction by Dr. Kimberley Bennett (@the_psychologists_child) about reading to children before they are born, parents-to-be will learn the importance of sound and rhythm for their child's development in utero.
The rhyming text that follows is a lyrical poem exploring the emotions of pregnancy and the hopes and dreams of life with a new child. Parents are encouraged to read the poem aloud to bump, creating a loving, bonding routine that enables the unborn baby to become familiar with their parents' voices--whether they are the birthing parent or not. The poem is accompanied by the stunning illustrations of Anneli Bray, featuring adorable animal parents and children.

You'll be able to personalize the book, too, with a letter written to baby ahead of their birth and a page to record their name, weight, and date of birth, making this book a treasured heirloom to pass on to your child. At the back of the book is a secure envelope where parents can keep photos and other treasured items.

Bedtime Book for Bump makes the ideal pregnancy gift for baby showers, Mother's Day, Father's Day ... or just because!
