One Thursday morning, a box of babies arrived at this door...
The perfect gift for any new parent who will quickly understand that one baby is as busy and chaotic as having seven! Babies need a lot of feeding, changing, entertaining, bathing ... and don't forget ALL that laundry. But, luckily, seven babies means ... seven times the love! With a simple read-aloud text and hilarious pictures with a sweet ladybird family to search and find throughout, Seven Babies is also a cosy, funny bedtime read - ideal for getting little ones into books for the first time.
"Joyous […] The babies’ expressive round faces recall Helen Oxenbury ’s drawings, but Xiao’s art has a zingier colour palette and a wildness of its own. It’s one of the cutest, and perhaps best, picture book portrayals of new parenthood that I’ve ever read – the exhausting babies barrel across each page, pulling books from shelves, chewing the rug and escaping the bath." - The Observer
"A wonderfully joyful picture book for introducing children to the concept of having a sibling." - Waterstones
