Raves and Reviews

A little baby boy narrates this quietly absorbing picture book . . . At one point, the baby recalls visiting the botanic garden. Upon learning that the baby is just two weeks old, one of the guards muses, “Ahhh . . . and already he’s seen the forsythia!” . . . . Originally published in 1994, the story has lost neither its gentle humor nor its charm in the new edition, which features expressive line drawings, brightened with colorful gouache painting. A fascinating reminder of infancy, this book may well elicit memories of early childhood from toddlers, preschoolers, their somewhat older siblings, and perhaps even their parents, grandparents, and other caregivers.
