Mummy and Daddy have some VERY exciting news . . . Piper the Puppy is going to be a big sister for the first time!

But as Piper learns more about the baby growing in Mummy’s tummy, she starts to worry . . .

What if she doesn’t have room in her bed for the baby?
What if the baby cries all night?

Luckily, Mummy, Daddy, Granny, Pops, her older brother Finn and even her cuddly toys – Hippety, Hoggle and Bear – are all there to help reassure Piper just in time!

A gentle, reassuring first experience story about the excitement and nerves that come with waiting for a new sibling to arrive.
