A loving family surround a new baby and explain all the new things the baby will see and hear in its private world. Beautifully written, full of poetry and the unexpected, this is a stunning view of one family's bringing its new member into its embrace. The illustrations are realistic and detailed, and the baby's expressions on the end papers almost leap off the page - yawns, cross-eyes, frowns and all. Dad does lots of the caring, as do the brother and sister. This is a baby that will have all the attention it could possibly want. An excellent introduction to the joys of a new baby. The problems will come later!
