This book is geared towards primary readers. There is a lot of repetition and use of simpler words. This book goes through the life of a baby and touches on the causes can effects of being a baby. Overall, I did not like this book and feel that other early reader books can be more impactful.

Cute and funny with shorter sentences that would be good for learning readers. I also liked the style of the illustrations. ( )

To any one who is a parent or is thinking of being a parent
To any one who works with kids in ANY capacity

Seriously, read this book. It is RELATABLE! I cackled in laughter. My Baby Time adults will resonate with it. But even our teen volunteer was dying of laughter. So that should tell you something. ( )

A New Life!

This book celebrates the changes that come to a household when a baby joins it. Suddenly, the amount of sleep, food, and recreation a person gets changes. Why is that?

When a baby comes into your home, every thing revolves around him. No longer can things be done on a whim. If, after becoming a parent, you have the energy to attempt a social life, planning a night out can be almost as challenging as launching a military campaign.

This tongue-in-cheek tale is a great commentary on parenthood, especially for first-time parents. The illustrations are as funny as the tale. This would make a good gift for parents, especially shower gifts.

Children really are a blessing, and I love mine dearly. Parenthood definitely enriches your life, and I highly recommend it. But little ones are a lot of work, especially as demanding infants—and that is what this book makes humorous remarks about.

As a matter of fact, children would also enjoy this book. They would think it is nothing more than a story about a mom, dad, and their baby. So, this book can serve a dual purpose as a funny tale for parents, and a picture book for the little ones. I recommend this five-star book to both, and advise you to keep your sense of humor, because this too will pass!
