The pending arrival of a new baby in Josh’s family prompts a look at baby traits among different kinds of animals. Some are born naked and pink (mice); others have curly hair (sheep). All babies are born hungry or thirsty (birds, cows). Some babies can only lie down (dogs), while others can stand (horses) and even jump and run (chickens). As for Josh—he was a baby once too, “but now he is a big brother!” Pleasing illustrations of appealing but not overly cute animals distinguish this oversize board book perfect for animal-loving toddlers, as well as those who are poised to become a big brother or sister themselves. (Ages 1–3)

Ideal for children with a baby brother or sister on the way. - Atlanta Parent

A spirited story, perfect for children expecting a little brother or sister. For toddlers ages 24 months and up, with a focus on the child's world.

At Clavis, our focus is on what's best for children. We believe that books play an important role in each new phase in life. Our toddler books are tailored for every stage from 0 to 3 and focus on the five most important themes in their life: daily life, skills, emotions, the world, and language development. The age range and theme of every book in our toddler series can be found on the back cover in the form of a colored train.
