This book is a joy, and features all of the wonderful family members in baby's life that love him 'so much', and the ways that they show that love.
So Much perfectly captures the pure joy of having a new baby in an extended family […] The exuberance of Trish Cooke’s words are matched by the warmth of Helen Oxenbury’s illustrations. There is nothing saccharine about this book; it is just so much… fun.
