Baby Business

by Mittie Cuetara

Hip couples have babies, too, and here is the book for them.

Laugh out loud hilarious!

This is a collection of short rhyming babies, their moods and actions during the day. By the accuracy of the descriptions, we can surmise that each poem is based on a real child that the author once knew, or played with, or fed. Between the poem and the picture, I was left rolling on the floor with laughter as I turned these pages. Children with younger brothers or sisters may find this book especially fun and engaging. The book has about 500 words.
