Mary Murphy’s big, eye-catching graphics and bouncy, ebullient text are sure to enchant readers who are celebrating a baby - or relishing their own claim to the title.
"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 black-and-white illustrations and a flash of vivid yellow for the wee chick’s appearance at the end, Mary Murphy’s simple, singsong story captures the giddy commotion only a baby can bring.

What reviewers said
This is ebullient and adorable, and its clear broadly articulated forms make it a natural to read to toddler groups and--as advised--by the person holding the new baby . . . A knock-out in design and concept.
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.
This is an ideal book for little eyes and ears, for text, illustrations, and design meld perfectly to capture the excitement of welcoming a new arrival.
