A writer, editor, and late-afternoon napper, Elizabeth McPike lives in Washington, DC. On a perfect day, she is likely to be found in her garden or in the remainder section of her nearby bookstore or sitting in a quiet pew by a stained-glass window. Patrice Barton (www. patricebarton. com) created her first painting at the age of three in Crisco on the dining room wall. She lives in Cedar Park, Texas.
"A love song to baby. Rhyming verse expresses animal parents' love for their little ones and is accompanied by cartoon-style illustrations of animal families rendered in bold colors and rounded forms. The succinct text pairs nicely with the spare art style, which offers uncluttered spreads focused on the parent-and-child interactions." --Kirkus Reviews
"In appealing child-directed rhymes, McPike (Little Bitty Friends) adopts the voice of a parent celebrating everything that makes a child special . . . Many families should easily be swayed by its charms." --Publishers Weekly
"A gentle and simple look at animal families awaiting a new arrival . . . A sweet addition to general picture book collections." --School Library Journal
