This is a simple, lyrical story board book about celebrating caring for a new baby. Whether its singing to the baby, feeding the baby or kissing the baby, all the animals love the baby - and so will you!
"We all have a voice and a song to sing! In this joyful, rhythmical picture book, Mary Murphy brings to life the beauty of the dawn chorus and shows that even the smallest of birds - and the littlest of readers - have a powerful voice"--Publisher's description.
The Murphys live at 53 Parrot Park, Dublin. There's Mammy, Rory, Anna and Mary (the twins), Cormac, Catherine and Susan (who is only one - she is full of smiles and listens to nobody). Whether they're mowing the lawn, getting rid of pesky headlice or hunting down UFOs, everything is an adventure with the Murphy family.
What I like most is this pencil. It is red outside and red inside. Its colour comes out like a red ribbon. It's what I like most in the world. Except for...A little girl tells us about all her favourite things, from her light-up shoes, to hot, steamy chips, to her red pencil. But the girl knows that, even as her feet grow, her plate empties, and her pencil shortens, there's someone she'll always love ... and that is what she likes the very, very most. An intimate ode to the unwavering love a child has for their mother, this tender, lyrical story is brought exquisitely to life by Zhu Cheng-Liang, a recipient of a New York Times Best Illustrated Book Award.

With bold, eye-catching graphics, glittering foil, and a gentle text, Mary Murphy retells an age-old Christmas story for the youngest of children. It was a silent night. I sat in my tree, with a waiting feeling. On a silent night, a star beckons to Little Owl, and he follows. He flies by three men on camels, plodding through sand and watching the sky. He flies above hills where shepherds keep watch over sheep, who watch too. And finally, in a distant manger, he finds a man, a woman, and the happiest baby - and joy that lights the world.
