Baby On Board by Kes Gray
This is Kes Gray's first picture book for Hodder, following his success with Eat Your Peas, winner of the Children's Book Award 2001, and Sarah Nayler's first ever picture book. It is a funny, colourful, and clever book that will provide perfect entertainment for young children. The story traces the 9 months during which a family await the birth of a new baby. Written from the eyes of a small child, we are given hilariously funny descriptions of the development of the baby in Mum's tummy and accounts of family life as the baby's birth draws near. In the style of the Simpsons, it is a uniquely fresh and entertaining title. This book will appeal to all young children, and will assist their understanding and development.
The illustrations are bright and distinctive and the last double spread summarising the baby's development is most helpful and likely to encourage the young listeners to talk and question -- Books for Keeps A clear, often witty, text combines perfectly with the pictures to make this a most original picture book-- Books For Keeps Contemporary wordplay for the text and a jaunty colour palette make this story about the development of a baby inside Rosy's mum appealing. -- Nursery world An excellent book with an interesting and effective design. -- Books For Keeps Uniquely fresh -- Parents News A funny, colourful, and clever book that will provide perfect entertainment for young children. -- Amazon The funny descriptions of both the developing baby and accounts of family life make it an excellent and informative book. -- Family Interest Magazine A must for anyone expecting a second child -- Angels and Urchins ...light-hearted and amusing... -- Writing Magazine
