Arthur's new baby book ISBN: 9780099412984
Brown, Marc
Published by Red Fox, 2000
A board book with lots of flaps to open. Arthur and DW his sister have a new baby in the family - Kate. Kate appears as a complete surprise, which is a tad surprising in itself, but the children are initially pleased until DW announces that babies are boring. Dad reminds her of all the things she did as a baby and toddler (this includes learning the alphabet with 26 flaps with DW's favourite things behind them). Arthur remembers teaching DW nursery rhymes, and there are five standard ones to learn. After all this, though, DW is still feeling left out. The last flap of all shows mum and dad giving her lots of hugs and kisses. There is plenty to do in this book, and the flaps are strong and should last through many impatient tugs. Great fun.
