(4) PS Illustrated by Karen Barbour. Bunting tells how family and friends prepare for a baby's arrival with exuberant displays of love. A grandmother plants a rosebush for the child to enjoy, family members paint a nursery, and friends arrive with gifts. Barbour's joyful folk-art-style paintings keep this love-fest from sinking too far into sentimentality, but the whole package doesn't have much child-appeal.
