“What child hasn’t felt boundless love for a special doll or toy? . . . The simple, very reassuring story is told in lilting rhymes. . . . Endearing, uncomplicated, gently colored illustrations. . . . A charmer to share with the very youngest audiences at quiet, one-on-one lap times and before bed; it’s also a lovely paean to the caregiver-child bond. Both young listeners and caregivers will relish this ode to their own favorite Baby-Boos.”—Kirkus Reviews
