Here Come the Babies

School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1-This charming picture book describes babies' appearances and activities in rhyme. There is a lot of good-natured humor in both text and artwork about living with those wild and wonderful infants. The watercolor-and-ink illustrations are lively and amusing, filled with action and strong primary colors. A fair ethnic mix of characters is shown. The approach is very much like Janet and Allan Ahlberg's The Baby's Catalogue (Little, 1983) and Jan Ormerod's 101 Things to Do with a Baby (Lothrop, 1984). Readers who enjoyed both those books will certainly have fun with this one.-Kay McPherson, Central Atlanta-Fulton Public Library, GA
