A Wonderful Book for an Expectant Family
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is such a wonderful story of an entire family's anticipation and joy over the birth of a new baby in the family. My two-year-old son absolutely loves it and exclaims, "Grandfather come in next morning. It's missing something! I paint the cradle!" He remembers each page and its vivid illustrations and really enjoys the story. The first time I read it I nearly cried at how sweet Bond's story is. This would make a great book for a family expecting a second (third, fourth) child, and is a great grandparenting story as well.
Delightful, Delightful, Delightful!

Anticipating the arrival of a baby is perhaps one of life's most treasured experiences -- for the young and old alike. Rebecca Bond captures the essence of the experience with captivating illustrations and a precious story of the whole extended family pitching in to make the baby's arrival a special one. I have taken to buying this book for the preschoolers in my life who are expecting a little brother or sister. This is the book my daughter, age 5, asks me to read to her more than any other. She and I are also enchanted with Ms. Bond's other two children's books. She is a relatively new author (with this being her first book), but I have a feeling (and I sure hope) we will be seeing much more of her writing in the years to come.
There are 2 books by Rebecca Bond we own and enjoy...

For any family who's ever experienced the joyful expectation of a newborn baby.... with all the hope and promise for the child's life.... there are 2 titles by Rebecca Bond that are SURE to please! The warm illustrations.... rooms full of books (and no TVs!).... and the tender multi-generational love for new life --- it doesn't get any better than this! JUST LIKE A BABY and BRAVO MAURICE by Rebecca Bond are the perfect "snuggle up and read-to-me" books. A word of advice: Your budding artists will want to duplicate the bright colors, textures and patterns.... Bond's art is contagious, so have the crayons, paper & paints ready!
excellent book for reading to young children

I'm buying a second copy as a gift. Lively illustrations, fun story. This will be read to our grand daughter over and over.
Illustrations say it all!

I was delighted with the red-faced, charming characters in Rebecca Bond's first book. Her illustrations are bright and cheery. The story is sweet, a bedtime delight. I enjoyed this as much as my children. A must read for all little ones, and a perfect baby gift.
