Synopsis
A family gets ready to greet a new baby
As a father helps his children get ready for school, the busy sounds of day unfold:
Bus honks and bells,
Dishes and shoes,
Whirring of tires and
Crackle of news . . .
Then night falls and the sounds are different:
Wind singing,
Sometimes rain
Slapping leaves on
Windowpane . . .
But this is no ordinary day – or night. Listening to the clock tick, this family is waiting for something exciting to happen – and it does, when a new baby arrives.
Rich, playful paintings combine with lyrical language to tell a warm, vibrant story of family.

About the Author
Mary O’Neill’s (1905–90) memorable poetry includes Hailstones and Halibut Bones, a New York Times Book Review Best Book.
Cynthia Jabar has illustrated a number of picture books, including her own. She lives in Portland, Maine.
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Two image-filled poems by O'Neill, the author of Hailstones and Halibut Bones (Turtleback, 1961), appear together in a picture-book format. In the first section, rhyming verses evoke the hustle and bustle of a busy day, "Bus honks and bells,/Dishes and shoes,/Whirring of tires and/Crackle of news." The night poem stanzas are filled with whispery words describing lullabies, "Tiptoe footsteps," fluttering curtains, and kitten purrs. Each selection is picturesque and evocative; with closed eyes, listeners can conjure up pictures in their minds. Jabar's expressionistic style depicts the verse in vibrant, vivacious paintings. The illustrations are lively, fun, and tell a story of their own. While the art links the two unique poems nicely, it may occasionally distract listeners from the cadence, flow, and imagery of the poetry. Nevertheless, many families will enjoy reading this successful picture book again and again.
