Bye Bye Baby

  • A Sad Story with a Happy Ending

This is a sad story- but it has a very happy ending.

Once, there was a baby with no mummy- but he wanted a mummy very much. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, he set off to find one.

Along the way he met lots of new friends, none of whom could be his mummy but wanted to help him find one.

When they met a lady with a pram and no baby, the baby finally found his mummy- there was just one more thing he needed- a daddy!

A beautiful story about finding your family, it can be used to talk about adoption, fostering and changing families. This Janet and Allan Ahlberg classic is a must for every bookshelf.

Reviews

  • Bye Bye Baby is wonderful - I haven't enjoyed a picture book so much for years.

    The Independent

  • Janet and Allan Ahlberg are to children's books what Ginger and Fred were to dancing: Bye Bye, Baby is surely destined [...] to become a classic.
