Seven Babies

By Forest Xiao

Book Overview

"A sweet, rambunctious celebration of babyhood that begs for repeated readings." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

The cuteness meter is off the charts in this sweet and funny story from an exciting new picture-book talent, celebrating the chaos and joy that babies bring to our days.

One Thursday morning, a box of babies arrived at this door.

What do you do when a box of seven irresistibly plump babies appears on your doorstep? Do you invite them in? Of course you do But seven babies turn out to be a lot of work: feeding, changing, wrangling, entertaining, bathing, so much laundry . . . Good thing babies love watching the washing machine spin around and around Filled with the most adorable, relatable, and perfectly round-headed babies ever to grace a picture book, Forest Xiao's celebration of the mess and the marvel of a new arrival is an ideal gift for little ones and anyone who loves them.
