When Liam and Mary's mum and dad bring their new baby brother home from the hospital they also bring some presents: for Mary, some building blocks and for Liam, a family of hippos.

This is a warm, sensitive and reassuring book about the arrival of a new baby in the family, written by an expert in the field of child development.
