Baby Party - Tapa dura

"The text is short and sweet, even if viewers are never shown what's in that square package. A wonderful lapsit to share one-on-one or in a small group." School Library Journal, February 1, 2015

"Bold patterns and bright colors will attract and hold young ones' attention, and the clapping won't hurt, either: 'Clap for the baby holding an oval.' Light but sweet." Kirkus Reviews, January 15, 2015

"O'Connell manages to once again create a story that will engross toddlers and encourage caregivers to make all interactions teachable moments for children." Booklist, March 1, 2015

Clap for the babies! It’s a baby party! Clap for the babies as they celebrate with oval balloons, in triangle party hats, and with rectangle toys. At this baby party, basic shapes are a cause for celebration! Circles become treats, squares become gifts, and stars are prizes to share. Toddlers are welcomed to join the irresistible festivities and pick out all the shapes in this cheerful romp from the author and illustrator team of Baby Parade.
