Critics Review
Written throughout in rhyme the book is beautifully illustrated. These support the text perfectly, and young children will adore following them… It has a timeless quality to it and portrays the burping, dirty nappies and sleepless nights which accompany the arrival of a new baby. It is done in a loving and charming way that parents and children alike will enjoy. * Left on the Shelf *

Dazzling colours and charming details (keep an eye on the devoted Dalmatian dog!) abound in a comforting story that little ones will want to return to again and again. * Inclusive Books for Children *
