books to prepare older sibling for newborn?

[ssgg]

I have a 3.5 year old DD and another DD on the way in a couple of weeks. Any good books for the ODD to help w/ the transition? She is super excited and very maternal, but I know she will miss my undivided attention and there will be some jealousy. Other suggestions?

One we really liked is called Baby, Baby, Blah, Blah, Blah by Jonathan Shipton. Perfect for a DD around that age.

We have similar age spacing and really liked What Baby Needs. DD still likes to read it.

We were gifted "How to Be a Baby... by Me, the Big Sister" and it is great! Really funny and perfect for that age. http://www.amazon.com/How-Baby-Big-Sister-Series/dp/0375873880/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1336609921&sr=1-1

We really liked "I'm a big sister" (she also has a "brother" version) by Joanna Cole, but my DD was closer to 2 when my DS was born. Does she have a favorite story character or series like Berenstein Bears, Froggy, Little Critter, etc.? If so, you might check if they have a story about having a new sibling - many of the popular character series books do.
