40 p., Bradbury Press, 1990.
When a mother and father receive a phone call saying it's time to adopt their baby, they lovingly assemble all the things a baby needs: a car seat, bottles, formula, diapers, pajamas, shirts, socks, pacifiers, a mobile, a teddy bear, a quilt, and a cradle. They decorate the baby's room with wind chimes and flowers. As the story ends, they fall instantly in love with the baby. An afterword discusses ways to talk with children about their adoption. This story offers very young children an understanding of adoption that emphasizes' parents love and caring.
