Summary

This tale was written to be listened to along with grandchildren (and others) at bedtime. Also great for just-in-time-for-delivery to expectant and concerned parents.

It is a story about babies waiting in heaven to be born, but a little one due to be delivered that day gets lost (or, perhaps, is just scared and goes into hiding), giving the nurse in charge a major headache, but sorted out in the end with the help of an indulgent and amused God.

A magic tale

I listened to this tale with my granddaughter - she liked it a lot and found it quite funny but at 13 she was too grown up to enter into the spirit of the story and get immersed in it - so I guess I will have to wait for a great-grand-daughter to appear, if I live long enough.... but the tale was fun to hear

Unreliable briefing for father-to-be

This is a charmingly read tale, no more implausible than the Stork or Gooseberry-bush traditions, like which it offers no explanation for the size of the pre-natal mum tum!
