Hello Baby, It's Me, Alfie



Join Alfie as he waits impatiently for his new sibling to arrive in this charming and funny picture book about the baby growth process — which includes an illustrated baby growth chart on the back of the book jacket!

Alfie has a new sibling on the way, and he can't wait to meet them! Follow Alfie and his enthusiastic narration all the way from six weeks, when his sibling is just a tiny lemon pip, to their highly anticipated welcome to the world at forty weeks when they're a big pumpkin! This funny and informative picture book follows the growth stages of a baby (with helpful fruit and vegetable comparisons!) and teaches how to be a good big sibling to a new baby.
