In a first-time creative pairing, two of the world's most treasured
picture book creators offer a truly delightful book for
new-siblings-to-be.
When is the new baby coming? What will we call it? What will he do? We
don't really need a baby, do we? With sensitivity and wit, John
Burningham follows the swirl of questions in the mind of a young child
anticipating a baby sibling with excitement, curiosity, and just a bit
of trepidation. In perfect tandem, Helen Oxenbury captures the child's
loving interactions with his mother -- along with the fanciful future
scenarios he imagines for the new family member he has yet to meet.
Combining a warm, timeless story with illustrations both freshly
enchanting and wonderfully nostalgic, this gorgeous book has all the
hallmarks of a classic.
