From the publisher

Celebrate the art of the perfect nap with This Is a Baby! This snuggly, silly board book follows three hibernating sleepers — a little bear, a prickly hedgehog, and a tucked-in-tight dormouse — as each one builds from a good nap to a beary good, quilly good, mighty good nap and beyond. Each spread layers on the giggles with a playful, cumulative rhythm. With cozy illustrations and a warm, knowing wink at every tired mama, this irresistible read-aloud makes the sweetest possible case that napping is something all babies — animal and human alike — need.
