This picture book with its soft padded cover and cosily nostalgic illustrations is a delightful exploration of the joy of anticipation before the arrival of a new addition to the rabbit family. It is romanticised, sanitised and explores none of the downsides of the advent of a new sibling but it is charming nevertheless! With its gentle, lilting rhythmic text; this book will make an ideal gift and one which may also help new big sister and brothers counteract the frustrations inevitably associated with a new baby when shared one to one with a loving and understanding parent.
