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.
The Hargraves want their new baby to grow up big and strong. But the puny mite will hardly eat a thing. One day Mrs Hargraves finds an avocado in the fruit bowl and the baby gobbles it up. Soon, the strangest things start to happen...
At last, a board book edition of this beloved preschool story.
One sunny day Mr. Gumpy decides to take a ride in his small boat. It's a perfect idea for a lovely summer day, and soon he is joined by children, a rabbit, a cat, a pig, and a host of other friends. But when the goat kicks, the chickens flap, the dog teases the cat and the children squabble -- the boat tips into the water and everyone tumbles out. No one minds getting wet on such a nice day, though, especially since Mr. Gumpy invites everyone to his house for tea.
A colorful new design and sturdy board book format bring this beloved classic to a whole new audience of children.

begins to change, and a series of chance events reveal that really
he is a lovely boy, and has been all along.
