Oh, baby! Leslie Patricelli's one-haired wonder returns to share the love.
When you're an adorable bald baby, your family finds lots of ways to show you how much they love you: Mommy lifts you uppy, Daddy kisses you on the tummy, and everyone wants to snuggle. What's not to love? With comedy and warmth, Leslie Patricelli offers a universal tribute to love and affection in a board book full of instant appeal for little valentines everywhere.
[Patricelli] does a lovely job of capturing toddler-and-parent interactions; especially ebullient: the depiction of a family pileup hug on the floor.
--Kirkus Reviews
Readers ought to find all this kissing and hugging contagious.
--Publishers Weekly
