"Bounce bounce, ding-a-ling, ring ring, let's sing! I feel joy!" From an award-winning author and illustrator pairing comes an irresistibly energetic read-aloud picture book. Join the bouncy little kitten as she plays with her favourite toy and - uh oh - falls down with a trip-trip-slip. But with a little hug, a kiss and a squeeze, she's going to be just fine. A truly joyful celebration of the love between parent and child.

But Greta, of course, always knows best--poor Gracie can't get a word in edgeways. Then on Christmas Eve, while Greta is quietly sleeping, Gracie hears a funny noise ...whatever could it be? She creeps downstairs...

"It's hard to wait for an exciting new baby to join the family, especially when it's still growing inside Mom's tummy. But when her dad tells her the size of the baby at each stage, one little girl imagines all the fun she can have with her baby brother as a teeny-tiny poppy seed, then a grape, then a lemon... but she's not quite sure how she feels about having an avocado for a brother. Or an onion. Or--gulp--a watermelon!"--
