Lotsa Littles! The Littles and How They Grew by Kelly DePuchhio


LITTLES ARE CUDDLED

AND CRADLED JUST RIGHT.

ON BELLIES, WITH BLANKETS;

IN SLINGS SNUGGLING TIGHT
.

All those cute and darling and lovable things about babies are true. They're all that--and more.

In her newest, Littles: And How They Grow (Doubleday and Company, 2017), Kelly DiPucchio celebrates all the wonderful things about babies.

Never mind the troublesome times. That's another set of rhymes. These jolly quatrains sing sweetly of the joys of babies for expectant parents and grandparents, aunts and uncles and maybe even some siblings.

LITTLES ARE DRESSED

IN SNUG SLEEPERS AND TEES,

AND ONESIES THAT SHOW OFF

THEIR SWEET DIMPLED KNEES.

This little book in praise of infants, ably and charmingly illustrated by AG Ford, shows babyhood at its best, all cute and cuddly, and it's all too true (Okay, maybe not every single moment!) Still it makes a perfect gift for expectant parents, or grandparents, or even an expectant big sister or brother or godparent to point up what a wonderful gift a new baby is. As the saying goes, "A child is a gift you give yourself," and this book says that well. Says Publishers Weekly, in a starred and starry-eyed review, it's "a warmhearted celebration of early childhood."
