A loving mama has fun sharing the various animals her growing child resembles, in this delightful companion to Bunny Roo, I Love You.
When you touched the water, you squawked and splashed.
I thought you'd become a duckling, so I jumped in to play with you.
It's hard to keep up with an energetic toddler, and as an adoring mom tries to, she describes all the frisky young animals her little one reminds her of--from a hopping frog and a squirming snake, to her adorable cuddly bunny.

“Marr and White produce a toddler sequel to Bunny Roo, I Love You. . . . Pale, creamy backgrounds and sparse details keep the focus on the parent-child relationship, which is very sweet and tender, especially in the closing vignette of mother holding a snuggly child. . . . Both a sweet lap-read and a gentle exhortation that caregivers interact with their children.”—Kirkus Reviews
A warm and tender welcome to the world!
In a gorgeous picture book that’s playfully sweet and visually captivating, New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr and talented new illustrator Teagan White celebrate the many ways parents make their new babies feel at home.

This beautiful picture book has the feel of a classic and its heartwarming premise should make it a family favorite.
REVIEWS:
“A lovely package.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Vintage-looking, pastoral prettiness.”—Publishers Weekly
"Marr’s soothing text (“When I met you, you were small and trembling, and I thought you might be a little bunny. I held you close so you were warm”) should prove calming for lap-sitting infants just beginning to focus on illustrations. ...This makes a good choice for one-on-one sharing or as a baby story-hour selection..."
