Seven Babies

One Thursday morning, a box of babies arrived at this door... The perfect gift for any new parent who will quickly understand that one baby is as busy and chaotic as having seven! But seven babies means ... seven times the love! With a simple text and hilarious pictures with a sweet ladybird family to search and find throughout, Seven Babies is also a cosy, funny bedtime read - ideal for getting little ones into books for the first time.

What happens when a box of seven irresistibly round babies arrives on your doorstep? Do you invite them in? Of course you do! But seven babies (each with their own distinctive personality!) is a LOT of hard work, and everyone has to chip in: they need feeding, changing, entertaining, bathing... Don't forget ALL that laundry. Good thing babies just love watching the washing machine spin round and around! "Joyous […] The babies’ expressive round faces recall Helen Oxenbury ’s drawings, but Xiao’s art has a zingier colour palette and a wildness of its own.

It’s one of the cutest, and perhaps best, picture book portrayals of new parenthood that I’ve ever read – the exhausting babies barrel across each page, pulling books from shelves, chewing the rug and escaping the bath." - The Observer"A wonderfully joyful picture book for introducing children to the concept of having a sibling." - Waterstones
