Bookroo's summary

A delightful buzz spreads through the animal kingdom as each creature excitedly shares their encounter with a tiny new baby. From fish to frogs, everyone is eager to boast about their special moment with the little one. With bold illustrations and a singsong narrative, this charming tale captures the joyful chaos and wonder that a new baby brings. Will you join the excitement and see the baby too?

From the publisher

An animal cast so elated that they seem on the verge of jumping into readers’ laps. . . . The high-contrast pictures and exclamatory text are guaranteed eye and ear magnets for the littlest ones. – Publishers Weekly (starred review) I saw the baby! Did you see the baby?Yes! I saw the baby, the teeny weeny thing. It’s so exciting! News of the baby is buzzing from animal to animal, with each one – fish, bird, squirrel, insect, frog – boasting of seeing, feeding, singing to, tickling, and kissing the tiny little thing. With bold, graphic black-and-white illustrations, Mary Murphy’s simple, singsong story captures the giddy commotion that only a baby can bring.
