This book is absolutely AWFUL for children. I thought this would be cute to read to my son. Well, if he wasn't previously having issues with a new baby coming he might after reading this book!! The book definitely gives plenty of bad examples for little ones and is NOT humorous! Don't waste your money or worse, taint your children with this book!!

Young Oliver is angry. His mother is giving away his high char and crib to the new baby that is coming to live with them. Oliver can't even sit on his mom's lap because her tummy has grown too big. Oliver is so angry he feels like throwing his mom in the garbage can, or running away and living in his tree house. There is just no room for a new baby in his life. But when momma reminds him that there are perks to being a big brother, Oliver decides to stick around and share his wisdom with the new baby. Originally published in 1979 and featuring recolored art by author/illustrator Martha Alexander, When The New Baby Comes, I'm Moving Out is an ideal book which is enthusiastically recommended for children whose parents want to prepare them for the arrival of a new baby in the family.

This book isn't funny. It's extremely negative to a level that I didn't think possible for children's books. Truly, I saw it at the library, couldn't bear to read the entire thing, then came to give it a bad review....it's really that bad.
If your child is having a hard time adjusting to a new pregnancy or new sibling, deal with their actual emotions. Do not give them the idea that throwing mommy away is an option.

When mom is about to have a new baby, it is natural for children to feel jealous, upset, insecure. It is difficult for a young child to articulate or understand these feelings. This book enables a child to see that others have negative feelings also, that it is acceptable to voice those feelings, and that mom understands. It is better for children to voice their negative feelings than to stuff those thoughts inside and act on them later. Martha Alexander has written a wonderful story which allows children and parents to recognize themselves in the characters. My children love this book and want to read it over and over again, as will yours.

I was appalled when I read this book. It talks about the little boy Oliver being upset about a new baby. But goes on to say that he will put the Mom and baby in a trash can and hit it with a stick, not feed them, cover them with ashes, and on..... While I'm sure this was meant to be funny. I don't find it that way at all!!! I find it disgusting. Why would you even want to put these ideas in a kids head. Maybe they can't put the Mom in a garbage can, but they may try to put the baby in one. I can't believe a book like this was published.
