Reviews
Told in flawless rhyming text, Nigel Gray has delivered a gorgeous story for very young readers about where babies come from, without any of the gory details. Bob Graham’s whimsical illustrations perfectly capture the worn out look of a new mum (in both animal and human form), as well as the energy and love that new little creatures bring into a home.
