Sandra Boynton's newest arrival beautifully captures the wonder of being a new parent. "From the moment I saw you and whispered your name, nothing, no nothing, has been quite the same." Welcoming a baby transforms life in many ways, including the wondrous opportunity to see the world through a child's eyes. In Ooo Baby, Baby! the precious baby bunny marvels at the changing seasons, happily watches the clouds, and plays with everyday objects in unexpected ways-all while the adoring big bunny look

Our Review

This tender board book captures the profound transformation of becoming a parent through the gentle rhythm of simple, heartfelt rhymes. The narrative follows a baby bunny discovering seasonal changes, cloud formations, and everyday objects with fresh wonder, while an adoring adult bunny provides a constant, loving presence. Boynton's signature illustrations radiate warmth and whimsy, making each page feel like a cozy embrace. The poetic text flows beautifully for read-aloud moments, creating a soothing experience for both reader and listener.

What distinguishes this book is its dual perspectiveโ€”it simultaneously celebrates the baby's discoveries while validating the parent's emotional journey of seeing the world anew. The book's emotional resonance makes it particularly meaningful for new parents navigating those early months of bonding and adjustment. Its sturdy construction and gentle pacing are perfectly suited for infants who respond to rhythmic language and expressive animal characters. This heartfelt exploration of parental love and childhood wonder will become a cherished part of any baby's first library.
