There's Going to Be a Baby

(4) PS Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. A young boy awaits the birth of his sibling and imagines possible futures for the baby. Burningham's text has an ambiguous relationship with the pictures and the pacing is awkward, but Oxenbury's beautiful illustrations convey the warmth of the relationship between mother and child.
