Pat Hutchins does it again. In the foreground (literally) Titch is offered over-sized hand-me-downs by his older brother and sister with the cheerful advice, 'You'll soon grow into them.' In the background Mum and Dad are watching, the seasons pass and Mum grows more visibly pregnant (unmentioned in the text). Eventually Titch gets new clothes that fit, the new baby comes home and it's Titch's turn to pass on trousers, sweater and socks and utter the famous phrase, 'He'll soon grow into them." Great for looking, reading and talking.
