Seven Babies - Its One of Cutest, Perhaps Best, Picture Book Portrayals of New

From an exciting and original new picture book talent comes a sweet and funny story about the chaos and joy a new baby brings into your life. One Thursday morning, a box of babies arrived at this door... What happens when a box of seven irresistibly plump babies arrives on your doorstep? Do you invite them in? Of course you do! But seven babies is a LOT of hard work, and everyone has to chip in: they need feeding, changing, entertaining, bathing... Don't forget ALL that laundry. Good thing babies just love watching the washing machine spin round and around! Here's one important thing to remember, though - seven babies means ... seven times the love! Filled with the sweetest, funniest and roundest little picture book babies you'll ever see, each with their own individual personalities, Forest Xiao celebrates the mess, chaos and enormous joy of a new arrival.
