So Much!

Trish Cooke

Auntie and Uncle and Nannie and Gran-Gran and all the cousins want to hug and kiss the new baby--they all love the baby SO MUCH! Illustrations by Helen Oxenbury brim with the warmth of a large, loving extended family.

Mom and baby are home alone when--DING DONG!--Auntie and then Uncle and Nannie and Gran-Gran and the cousins come to visit. And they all want to hug and kiss and squeeze and eat the baby right up--because everybody loves the baby SO MUCH! With Helen Oxenbury lending her characteristic warmth and humor to a most exuberant family party, Trish Cooke's rhythmic, cumulative story captures the joy of being the baby in a large extended family--a baby who knows that he is absolutely, utterly adored.

Cooke masterfully captures the closeness of the family and the wonder of the baby . . . A celebration of a warm and loving African-American family. Oxenbury's illustrations are magnificent.

The blend of Trish Cooke's repetitive, lively prose and Helen Oxenbury's exuberant, energetic pictures is a winning match.
