"An animal cast so elated that they seem on the verge of jumping into readers' laps. . . . The high-contrast pictures and exclamatory text are guaranteed eye and ear magnets for the littlest ones." Publishers Weekly(starred review)
"I saw the baby!
Did you see the baby"
"Yes! I saw the baby, the teeny weeny thing."
It's so exciting! News of the baby is buzzing from animal to animal, with each one fish, bird, squirrel, insect, frog boasting of seeing, feeding, singing to, tickling, and kissing the tiny little thing. With bold, graphic black-and-white illustrations, Mary Murphy's simple, singsong story captures the giddy commotion that only a baby can bring.
This shout-out-loud picture book is suitable for the very youngest of children. * Love Reading for Kids *
A charming love story perfect for bedtime. * Junior *
Lots of fun and very entertaining. * Mother and Baby *
