Babies Are Coming! — Amy Hest

From an author The Horn Book has called "a remarkable writer" comes a warm-hearted romp that's guaranteed to please. On a cold, wintry night, Miss Lee the librarian lights a fire in the library fireplace and begins her search for the perfect story-hour book. Meanwhile, inside tall buildings and houses neat and grand, a dozen crawling, dancing, singing babies are stuffed into pajamas, snugglies, coats, and hats by their moms and dads, sisters and brothers, grandmoms and grandpops. Charming, energetic illustrations by a talented new artist highlight the 1,001 things needed to ready the babies. It's colorful and chaotic confusion, leading right up to their tumultuous entrance into the library. Does Miss Lee have the perfect book for this rambunctious group? Fortunately, she does, and not a moment too soon!
