Product Description

Product Description
A miniature gift edition by the 1990 Best Books for Babies Award Winner. Rosie is a talkative and highly imaginative four-year-old and she is trying to help her mother with the new baby. But Rosie has two babies of her own (or so she says), and they too are very demanding. Apparently they live in a bird's nest, they go out in the garden all by themselves and sometimes they make Rosie cross. They also drive cars and lorries and dumpers and boats; they like swings and rockets and dinosaurs; they don't like custard and they eat apples all the time. To look at they seem remarkably like two cute toy animals: a rabbit and a bear! Martin Waddell also writes under the pseudonym Catherine Sefton. For Walker Books, he has written "Can't You Sleep, Little Bear?" (Winner of the 1989 Smarties Book Prize and the 1988 Kate Greenaway Medal); "Let's Go Home Little Bear"; "The Park in The Dark" (winner of the 1989 Emil/Kurt Maschler Award); "Rosie's Babies" (winner of the 1990 Best Books for Babies Award, and shortlisted for the 1991 Kate Greenaway Medal); "Farmer Duck" (Winner of the 1991 Smarties Book Prize); "The Hidden House"; "Squeak-a-Lot"; "The Tough Princess"; the "Little Dracula" stories; "Sailor Bear"; "Owl Babies"; "Little Mo"; "The Pig in the Pond", and "The Big, Big Sea". For Walker, Penny Dale has illustrated "The Stopwatch"; "Once There Were Giants" and "Rosie's Babies (shortlisted for the 1991 Kate Greenaway Medal), both by Martin Waddell, as well as her own stories, "Bet You Can't!"; "Ten in the Bed"; "Ten Out of Bed"; "The Elephant Tree"; "All about Alice"; "Play With Alice and Laura" and "Wake up, Mr B!" (Commended for the 1988 Kate Greenaway Medal).

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book for anyone with an imaginative child!, 23 Aug 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Rosie's Babies (Paperback)
Rosie is an imaginative 4 year old whose mum has just had a new baby. To keep her mum's attention she tells her all about her babies and all their amazing adventures. My imaginative 3 year old thinks this book is wonderful. She laughs at the silly things the "babies" get up too, and repeated readings of the book have led to her telling me similarly unlikely stories about her own dolls' adventures. The illustrations are well observed and sensitive, showing the bedtime routine of the baby until Rosie has her mum's full attention (and there is a lovely unobtrusive image of a contented baby breastfeeding which is refreshing to see). The author and illustrator of this book have written others about the impact of a new baby on a family ("When the Teddy bears came" is another favourite in this house) but Rosie's Babies gets my vote for being warm and funny and realistic - plus it passes the test of being read 8 times in a row with flying colours.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rosie's babies, 18 Dec 2005
By A Customer
This is a wonderful tale of the relationship between a mother and her young daughter. The story is a dialogue between the mother and child about their babies. Rosie, the little girl, talks about her toys as her babies while her mother sees to a real baby. The larger picture on each page tells the story of Rosie's babies and her imaginary games while a small picture near the text shows the mother, her baby and Rosie. A must for any young child with a new baby in the family.
