PS
The animals enthusiastically welcome a baby: "'I fed the baby! Did you feed the baby?' 'Yes! I fed the baby. What a hungry little one!'" The rhythmic exchange is suited to the youngest listeners, and the large pages, all black and white but for a single rim of color on one edge, may even catch the eye of an infant. The baby--a duck--eventually makes an appearance, lit in glowing yellow on the black page.
