PS
Charlip's litany of babies is both soothing and fascinating to young children who are drawn to things that are as small as they are. The rhyming text enumerates "baby clouds and baby showers" along with the more usual puppies and kittens. In spite of a slightly forced text, Charlip's pastel watercolors and rounded shapes make this a cozy bedtime book.
