Ma! There's Nothing to Do Here!

Book Overview
This hilarious picture book about a baby waiting to be born is the perfect gift for moms and moms-to-be -- by Barbara Park, the beloved and bestselling author of the Junie B. Jones series! "Ma! there's nothing to do here!" complains the precocious protagonist of this rhyming tale set entirely in utero. It's not exactly a scintillating experience spending nine months in your mother's womb. You're just stuck there at the end of that dumb bungee cord (a.k.a. the umbilical cord), with nothing whatsoever to do but slosh around. But, oh, the endless joys you have to look forward to as you listen to the tick-tock of ma's happy heart clock and await that happy day when you finally come out to play.

I bought this for my 3 year old son a week ago and I am now 37 weeks pregnant. This was a fantastic way of making the baby more of a reality to him by showing a baby inside Mommy's belly with a personality. He LOVES this book and has requested it as his bedtime story for the past 8 nights in a row. We totally scored big with this purchase and I highly recommend this book to anyone with a second child on the way.

Ma! There's Nothing to Do Here! A Word from your Baby-in-Waiting (Picture Book) Loved this book! Read the whole book in the store and of course I bought it!!! It was supposed to be for my daughter-in-law who is expecting our second grandchild, a son, and for our grand-daughter who will be nearly three when he is born. She loves books and I can't wait for her to see this one, I know she will adore this book!!! The only problem,.... my two adult daughters fell in love with the book, so we are keeping this book for Nana's house and buying another one to send to NC for my son and his family! Absolutely love it!!!!

I gave this book to a few friends who are first time pregnant moms and they LOVED it! I enjoyed the book and I am way past my childbearing years! Beautiful colors, great illustrations, and definitely a book you could read when the question, "Where did I come from," comes up!
Adorable book

I bought this book for my daughter who is expecting. It is a really cute and funny book. I have never seen a book from the unborn child's perspective in the womb before....very clever.
