Ten Little Fingers and Ten Little Toes

Helen Oxenbury illustrates a joyful celebration of babies.  Though diverse, they all have in common "ten little fingers and ten little toes" and are loved, loved, loved!

This is a sweet book to help introduce a new baby to a sibling.  There's no picture or mention of a dad, it's just the mom and the little boy.  Helen Oxenbury always draws such round headed children.  Here she's giving me a Jan Ormerod impression (in fact I picked up the book because I thought it was Ormerod's artwork).  Also I really like the pregnant mom's outfits!
