The Baby Shower by Eve Bunting, illustrated by Judy Love 2007
Ms. Brindle Cow’s friends want to celebrate the birth of her calf. They romp through the countryside carrying their special gifts with them. They sing a sweet song as they go:
“We love you, Brindle. Yes, we do. We’ll love your darling baby, too. Mr. Bull congratulations! We’ve come to join the celebrations.”
The happy ending has a surprise that is doubly fun. Each animal lays out their gift to welcome the babies, and the excitement on their faces is infectious.
This is a cute way of describing what a baby shower is to curious young children. The love and support of family and friends is of utmost importance, and this fact is illustrated in a charming way.
Appropriate for ages 3-6
