(4) K-3 Illustrated by Amy Wummer. After kindergartner Samuel announces that he's "having a baby!" his classmates imagine that they, too, are about to become parents (they put stuffed animals under their shirts, etc.). The simple text and soft-hued art rely on a "That's so cute!" reaction from a readership largely too young to supply it, but big-siblings-to-be may relate to Samuel's excitement and trepidation.
