Notes From Your Bookseller

Sandra Boynton is beloved in this space, and Ooo Baby Baby is being compared to her all-time classic, Snuggle Puppy. This is an ode to love in its many forms, and it's sure to warm the heart of any reader.

This uplifting board book from New York Times bestselling author Sandra Boynton beautifully captures the wonder of being a new parent.

From the moment I saw you and whispered your name, nothing, no nothing, has been quite the same.

Welcoming a baby transforms life in many ways, including the wondrous opportunity to see the world through a child's eyes. In Ooo Baby, Baby! the precious baby bunny marvels at the changing seasons, happily watches the clouds, and plays with everyday objects in unexpected ways—all while the adoring big bunny looks on with delight. 
 
With its warm and cozy illustrations—and a heart-shaped window in its front cover—this lilting Boynton board book is the ideal present for young children and new parents. It's also terrific for grandparents, baby showers, welcome baskets, or even Valentine's Day or Easter. Or just because. OOO!

"This sweet, upbeat story about a parent’s unconditional love for a child has appeal for both children and adults. Highly recommended for public libraries and preschools."—School Library Journal

From the Publisher

PreS—A sweet story about a parent's love at first sight for their baby, and the unconditional love that follows through the years. The text is perfect for toddlers and their families, and works well with the illustrations to capture the sentiments of the title. For example, on one page, an illustration shows a rabbit parent holding a little bunny who is wearing a yellow onesie and hat with long ears popping out alongside text that reads, "From the moment I saw you and whispered your name." The opposite page has a large window with a half moon and stars above text that reads, "Nothing, no nothing has been quite the same." The narrative highlights the joys many parents experience in seeing a miraculous world that includes snow, fall breezes, and flowers through a child's eyes. It also emphasizes the simple, good times together, doing activities like reading, and reassures children that the parent will be there for them when they are sad and tired. VERDICT This sweet, upbeat story about a parent's unconditional love for a child has appeal for both children and adults. Highly recommended for public libraries and preschools.—Robin Sofge
