By Davis, Jennifer & Cornell, Laura & Rauch, Jennifer

Publishers Summary:
It's the mystery of mysteries, what's going on inside a pregnant woman's belly? That's what Jennifer Davis's older children wanted to know while she was expecting the younger. So to explain, she wrote Before You Were Born, a joyful life-the-flap book that tells the parallel story of mother and baby during the nine months of pregnancy. Illustrated with full-color whimsy by Laura Cornell, whose delightful work is familiar to readers of Jamie Lee Curtis's Tell Me Again About the Night I Was Born and When I Was Little, Before You Were Born is a month-by-month count-down written in rhyming verse. READING LEVEL: Ages 3-6
