Black Pasha looks serious and "regal"; gray tiger Minouche is shy, possibly because she was rescued from the streets; and Siamese Amir is interested in everything. They play and lounge around all day in the rooms and around the courtyard of the traditional Arab house where they live. Middle Eastern design is ambient around them, in furniture, decorations, and the family's clothes. Slowly, the cats' favorite place to snuggle, Myriam's belly, starts to expand. One day, it even moves! After their guardians disappear for a few days and come back with a pretty basket, the three cats are super curious. What could be inside? In one particularly comical spread, a curious Amir stands on the head of a grumpy-looking Minouche, trying to peer through the keyhole into the room where Myriam has taken the basket. When the door is finally opened, a close-up painting of the pets looking dubiously at two pudgy feet clearly communicates how they are feeling about the newcomer. Grandma reassures them: "Say hello to Alya....Myriam will take care of you and the baby too. To love is to share." The cats remain nervous but eventually grow "calm and confident again," and even find new pastimes that include the baby in their "life full of love and tenderness." A delightful addition to the new-baby shelf.<br>
