Where did that baby come from? ISBN: 9780385606196
Gliori, Debi
Published by Doubleday, 2004
The cat family's new kitten is not welcomed by kitten one: 'Where did that baby come from, and can we take it back? It wails and squeaks, its nappy leaks - it's an insomniac'. Then, in a delightful series of pictures and rhymes, the older kitten wonders in a highly imaginative way about the different places the new kitten can have come from - always in a negative but very funny way. But in the end, the older kitten has learned to be loving and protective of the baby and comes to the conclusion - in a brilliant double page illustration of all sorts of animals with babies - that 'I think our baby comes from the place I come from too. Our place of birth was planet Earth, this baby, me...and you'. Utterly charming with some quite demanding use of language.
Age: 3+
