[Asho · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is such a cute book. My daughter loved looking at the pictures of the babies and was flapping her hands in excitement. I like to sing her the song rather than reading, although you could easily just read the book and look at the pictures. Such a simple book, but fun! I'm planning to check out the other books in the series as well.
