(4) PS Illustrated by Anna Currey. A rabbit family fixes up the nursery as it eagerly waits for a new baby. At last the baby arrives to the delight of all, including relatives who come for a welcome party. Told in the second person, this story in rhyme is sentimental but comforting. Watercolor illustrations use dynamic lines and warm colors to create a cheerful atmosphere.
