Toddler-Gr 2–Two cool moms-to-be and partners arrive at their baby shower where a diverse group of joyful friends and family await. “You’re a rainbow, baby!/ And I’ll tell you why./ You came after showers and you lit up the sky./ You’re a sunrise, baby!/ Fresh, rosy, and new! We can’t wait to discover the things you will do.” There are mishaps in the subsequent pages, all of which feature families and their babies: a father with twins squirts himself in the eye with the baby bottle; sometimes babies are inconsolable and other times they are dreamy sleeping bundles. All of it’s here in a few short pages, but no child will listen without feeling just a little more beloved.
VERDICT Poring over the details and finding themselves in the pages makes this a mirror-and-window board book with reach beyond the usual preschool demographic.
