Synopsis
What do we do with the baby?
Oh, so many fun things—from hugging and kissing to washing and feeding and playing peekaboo. That's what we do with the baby!
Children will join in on the rhythmic refrain as quick as bunnies, while readers of all ages will revel in a loving family's enjoyment of having a baby in the house.
Children's Literature
Parents and older siblings are likely to delight in the rhyming refrains of this book that systematically explores different things we can do, and ways we can move, play, feed, clean, and dress the baby, ending with the perfect things to say: "Peekaboo" and "I Love You." The text dances across the pages of the book, with the refrain ending each two page spread. This is the seventh book in which Paige Miglio has illustrated Walton's warm text with soft pastels of bunny babies and adults. While the bunny features of long ears, pink nose, and twitchy whiskers are representational, everyone is dressed in comfy cute human clothes; so too, these bunnies use the same kind of high chairs, bathtubs, high chairs, and toys young children will see in their homes. There is no question that this book, like the others Walton and Miglio have done, is very sweet. For my money, however, Walton's unique talent is found in the clever zany tales of his language arts series tales such as Pig, Pigger, Piggest. Reviewer: Mary Hynes-Berry
