My kids picked out a great book at the library about this tradition: First Laugh--Welcome, Baby! https://www.amazon.com/dp/1580897940/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1pbFDbH34PYPT
yikes, I thought it was going to be my favorite night time book I used to read to my daughter, Baby Cakes.
I am not familiar with that book, but if you have to ask, you should probably not give it. Maybe Nancy Tillman's You Are Loved series might have a better option? (The "On The Night You Were Born" books.)
> To be fair when a movie like "The littlest viking" comes out, you definitely blame shitty writing.
No, I don't. Because that was a children's book:

If it got adapted into some terrible movie, it's not the writer's fault that it sucks. Once again, you can look to the director for managing to somehow fuck up adapting a children's book.
Generally, I would just go through here.
Specifically, here are some lists of my favs:

Relevant: This book was returned back to our library today. The children's librarian and I were just like... yeah that's GREAT for self esteem.
There's A House Inside My Mummy

Your better off buying the broad who's book who was on Hannity tonight. She seemed really down to earth, she even had her dad on air with her: https://www.amazon.com/Take-Heart-My-Child-Mothers/dp/1481466224/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479268519&sr=8-1&keywords=take+heart+my+child
Totally normal, but doesn't mean you have to encourage her babyish behavior. Help her see herself in the role of the "Big Cousin" and talk about all the things she can do that the baby can't (babies can't play on the playground, babies can't eat ice cream, etc). A book like The New Baby or How To Be A Baby might be good to read with her (changing "big sister" to "big cousin" of course). Snuggle the Baby is also a cool interactive board book that shows how to take care of a baby - might help reinforce her role as a "big helper" when the baby arrives.
Amelia Bedelia book for my niece. thanks for the contest! This is as cheap as I had.

I'm not sure this book is in print anymore, but I loved it when my mom was pregnant with my little sister (can you see the link in Australia?). http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Come-Out-Fran-Manushkin/dp/1887734716
You can get the gist of it from the book preview. Ultimately Baby decides to come out because Daddy is giving the rest of the family a kiss, and she wants to know what a kiss is. Maybe something you should try? :)
Half the story of a picture book is the pictures. Your book needs sidewalks full of people, something akin to the illustrations in Everywhere Babies.
Otherwise, the story seems a little too forced in its message. The illustrations need to be a pleasure to view, more full scenes, fewer standalone objects.
We had our second around the two year mark and Pirate Pete was the favourite book of the time (exciting new things, focus on the child not the baby)

But these days (age 5) the Osborn series of lift the flap books would be better received (i.e. whats happening inside) - Ive not read this one, but we have others from Osborn
https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Babies-Made-Flip-Flaps/dp/0746025025/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Note:
The Osborn book has been flagged for inappropriate language by one reviewer, to which I would say, "What world do you live in where you can skip the body parts that having a baby requires?".
Also, one review says the "See inside the body" book contains the same pictures, but ours does not cover pregnancy (but is a worthwhile book to buy in any case)
For /u/firestar9s, who just joined us - a book!
For me, who did not just join us! - a book!
I found you!
More book recommendations... [What Baby Needs] (http://www.amazon.com/What-Needs-Sears-Children-Library/dp/0316788287/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1415666054&sr=1-1&keywords=what+baby+needs) by Dr. Sears (of Attachment Parenting fame/controversy) and [The New Baby] (http://www.amazon.com/New-Baby-Mercer-Mayer/dp/0307119424/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1415666100&sr=1-1&keywords=mercer+mayer+new+baby) by Mercer Mayer (of the Little Critter series).
Mustache baby is a fairly amusing children's book.
Books, or clothing 12 months plus. Lots of people will be buying the newborn stuff, often so much you can't actually use it all before it's out grown.
I tend to pick books for people I don't know that well.
Here are some that aren't crappy:
By not crappy I mean that they aren't mind numbing for adults to read aloud. Some kids books, especially re-tellings of fairy tales are so badly written you want to gouge your eyes out.
My 2 year old loves Baby Cakes and Baby Talk right now.
My daughter was younger than your son when I was pregnant, so our books might be aimed a little younger. I thought What Baby Needs was pretty good though. Here is the page with breast/bottle to give you an idea.

My son was 3.5 when I had my 2nd son. BTW, I have an awesome wall with 8x10s of them of their hospital photos, and in the middle a pic of my older son feeding his brother for the first time.
What I did was make a "big brother bag" I bought these shirts and a bag like this. Then, in the bag I put in a few of his favorite snacks, a couple juice boxes, this book (I found it at a thrift store for a quarter,) a disposable camera, and a couple of matchbox cars. I also had him pick a small toy for the baby, we wrapped it and I put it in the bag. He didn't know he was getting the bag until he got to the hospital.
This was great because it made sure that my mom (who kept an eye on him in the waiting room) had stuff for him to snack on and stuff for him to do. The camera gave him something to interact with the baby with, and the shirts were just cute and I wanted them. lol. It made him feel like getting a brother was more of a present to him that wasn't quite ready yet. :)
We also made sure that big brother was the first person other than us to hold him. My husband brought him back and the baby was ready for a bottle, so we let him hold him and feed him, then let the other visitors back.
http://www.amazon.com/Carry-Babies-Everywhere-Bright-Books/dp/1595721800 This one and the related series is cute. We still sometimes read it at two years of age.
My kids love Global Baby Girls (all the books in that series, really), Doc Like Mommy, and Grandma in Blue with Red Hat.
OP is a bundle of sticks.
>Amazon.com Review
>It's never too early to start kids reading. Even in infancy, young eyes can begin to make connections between images on a page and the real thing. White on Black is an ideal first book, and one that will continue to fascinate the very youngest readers as they grow. Exquisitely simple, solid white pictures of everyday objects--a banana, a duck, a bottle--against a black background provide high contrast for developing eyes. This wordless picture book encourages caregivers to engage the child as they "read" together: "Oh look, a boat, that looks like your bath toy, doesn't it?"
>With White on Black's companion book, Black on White, Tana Hoban has created a striking pair of visual tools to increase the youngest readers' burgeoning powers of perception. In this complex world, it's a joy to find a book that sees the world in the simplest of terms. (Baby to Preschool) --Emilie Coulter
