Checking Availibility...Description
The cuteness meter is off the charts in this sweet and funny story from an exciting new picture-book talent, celebrating the chaos and joy that babies bring to our days.
One Thursday morning, a box of babies arrived at this door.
What do you do when a box of seven irresistibly plump babies appears on your doorstep? Do you invite them in? Of course you do! But seven babies turn out to be a lot of work: feeding, changing, wrangling, entertaining, bathing, so much laundry . . . Good thing babies love watching the washing machine spin around and around! Filled with the most adorable, relatable, and perfectly round-headed babies ever to grace a picture book, Forest Xiao's celebration of the mess and the marvel of a new arrival is an ideal gift for little ones and anyone who loves them.

With this whimsical premise, Xiao has crafted a heartwarming tale that perfectly captures the exhausting yet rewarding reality of caring for little ones. . . .The simple text is gracefully balanced with the visual exuberance of babies tumbling across pages, exploring their surroundings, and eventually snuggling up together. . . .
