Biscuit is fascinated with the new baby but every time he wants to make friends the baby is sleeping!
While he is waiting Biscuit investigates things that the baby uses. He plays with a baby rattle, sniffs baby's blanket, and even chews on baby booties.

Moms and kids love this book. First there's a dog. What's not to like about that. And then there's a baby!
Moms
also love how the mother in this book looks happy but exhausted. This
carried through as she is shown in her bathrobe for the entire book.
