Description

Clever monkey babies, dusty lion babies, sleepy leopard babies - the world is filled with beautiful babies. But which one is the most treasured baby of all? A simple, repetitive storyline which introduces the first-time reader to young animals, with the satisfying conclusion of identifying themselves. Clean, spare and compulsive words, very typically Mem in delivery with charming 'paper art' similar in style to Eric Carle.
