I Love You, Baby ISBN: 9781408327500
Andreae, Giles and Dodd, Emma
Published by Orchard Books, 2014
Lovely big, simple pictures show us a happy family with a young boy and a new baby: 'Guess what I've got? Hip hip hooray! A brand new baby to love all day.' The whole point of the cheerful story is for the little boy to tell us all about the physical characteristics of his new sibling: 'Two chubby legs and two squashy thighs. One little forehead, two round eyes.' On it goes naming all the baby's bits, and in the process we learn the names for all the body parts. For our purposes, though, the book tells us what a happy occurrence a new baby is, and the illustrations show all the fun the family has in enjoying the baby together. Children will enjoy the rhymes too, and you may find yourself reciting them even when not reading the book together!
