Bookroo's summary

Robin discovers a baby in her sandbox, only to hear it murmur, 'Murmel, murmel, murmel.' Too young to care for it herself, she embarks on a quest through her neighborhood, seeking someone who needs a baby. The woman with seventeen cats and the grumpy man at the bus stop both refuse. Just when hope seems lost, a friendly truck driver offers an unexpected trade. Will Robin accept the deal and find a home for the baby? Dive into this whimsical adventure to find out.

From the publisher

What in the world is Robin going to do with the baby she finds in her sandbox? “Murmel, murmel, murmel,” is all Robin hears coming from a hole in her sandbox. When she reaches down and out pops a baby, she finds herself in a real fix: who will take care of it? Robin’s too little! Off she goes, searching her neighborhood for someone who needs a baby. The woman with seventeen cats doesn’t want the baby. Nor does the grumpy man by the bus stop. It looks as though all hope is lost, until a friendly truck driver passes by. He offers to trade his truck for the baby–an exchange Robin can’t refuse.
