There's a Baby in There! [hc]
Written by Dandi Daley Mackall [Ohio] & illustrated by Carlynn Whitt
A chimp wonders what it would be like to have a baby brother or even... a sister? But no matter what anyone says, he still doesn’t believe there’s a baby in his mother’s belly- until one day, there’s proof! This delightful text is illustrated with rich humor and detail in acrylic, colored pencil, and wax crayon on watercolor paper. 32 pages
"The chimp's ingenuous voice and skepticism give Mackall's... story a wily edge that many books about soon-to-be siblings lack. Also refreshing is newcomer Whitt's bustling mixed-media art. Bold colors, textures, and patterns intermingle in jungle scenes that parrot the narrator's change of mood as he accepts the prospect of a new baby, pitches in to help prepare for her arrival, and welcomes her into his world." -Publishers Weekly (Ages 4-8)
