Book Synopsis

From an exciting and original new picture book talent comes a sweet and funny story about the chaos and joy a new baby brings into your life.

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!

Our Review Panel says...

When seven babies turn up on a doorstep in a cardboard box, a day of quiet mayhem begins. There is a lovely, dry humour to the way the babies take over the daily routine (splashing in the bath and helping with the laundry) while the family looks on in bemusement.

This has the feel of a classic. The minimal text lets children lead the way, hunting for witty clues in the pictures. The babies are joyfully portrayed in the illustrations and their expressions and movement will evoke delight.

This is a charming read-together book that flips the script on who is really in charge. Ending with a question about where the box of babies might land next, it is a great choice for a Preschool book corner and a perfect prompt for getting children talking about families, siblings and domestic routines.
