Here Comes Gosling!

It’s a cute book with brightly colored illustrations that tells of young Frog’s excitement over the pending visit of Goose and Gander with their new baby Gosling.  From the time Rabbit tells him the news, Frog is anxiously awaiting their arrival, only to be distressed when they arrive at how much crying the young Gosling is doing.  Though others try lots of ideas (hungry? tired? diaper?) to calm Gosling, it’s Froggie’s singing and dancing that eventually turn the crying into laughing.  It’s cute, and it will be a helpful book for young families with new arrivals that siblings need to learn to cope with, but there’s nothing super special/unique/creative to really say you need to have it if you’ve already got other new-baby books in your collection.
