Description

In this irresistible picture book, nobody can make baby Louise stop crying. Mom tries singing a lullaby. Dad rocks her in his arms, Grandma gives her a bottle, and Grandpa dances a jig. Nothing works. But when big brother Daniel comes home from school, he knows exactly what to do. He bends over Louise and whispers the magic words: "Oonga boonga." Miraculously, Louise's tears are replaced by a toothless grin!

When Daniel goes out to play, Louise starts crying again. "Oonga boonga! Oonga boonga!" everyone tries, but Louise continues to wail and sob. Only Daniel knows the secret to making her happy.

Carol Thompson's splashy, fun-filled illustrations perfectly complement this charming story about the sweeter side of sibling relations.
