Quotes:"Numerous books are available to prepare soon-to-be siblings
for the changes that come with the arrival of a new baby in the house. Butler's
goes one better by candidly, and thoughtfully, responding to the question many
such books ignore, 'How did that baby get there?' Joyous, splashy watercolors
establish the warmth of a close-knit family and introduce narrator Elizabeth,
about five, a bundle of energy. Her delight and curiosity spill across the pages
as she explains that her mother 'has a baby growing inside her, ' and describes
what she learns about the pregnancy and her developing sib." 25.3 cms L x
