Description

There's a house inside my mummy

Where my little brother grows,

or maybe it's my little sister

No one really knows.

A gentle and tender story of a little boy waiting for his new brother or sister to arrive. Told with humour and a simple rhyming text, this is the perfect picture book for all expectant brothers and sisters.

"A great book for sharing with your firstborn while your second is still in the 'tummy house'."
