About this item
Animals gently angle to have a new baby named after themselves in this sweet picture book by Lizi Boyd, whose previous work was named a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year."A name is a sound that follows you around. I'm listening for one," says Mother Mouse. Holding her new baby close, she fields suggestions from Sadie Snail, Kiki Cat, Merle Squirrel, and a host of other animals (many of whom would like to see the new baby named after themselves!) . One by one, the animals suggest names for baby that would personally honor themselves. Lyrical text filled with wordplay will charm soon-to-be parents and soon-to-be older siblings alike. Lizi Boyd is an innovative and celebrated illustrator. Her book Big Bear Little Chair was named a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of 2015.
