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.
