The new baby in this family is the youngest of three, and the middle child, a boy, is finding life a tad difficult. He has to learn that babies can be noisy and hard work, that they get lots of attention and that sometimes he feels left out. But he also learns that they need people to love them. Love will help the baby learn to smile and talk, to help and to play, to share and to care. Love is what makes a family. The warm, chalk illustrations are full of cuddly toys and cuddly people, and while mum does appear once, the emphasis is on the children and their reactions. First rate!
