The biggest problem with this book is that it's too short. It's also too big - a massive square foot.

Other than that, well if Sohmer could sustain it, this could be the next great newspaper comic. Rayne is a nutty, but true-to-life child; his parents are have a delightful sang froid about his antics and the art is fabulous.

Readers of Sohmer's other series Least I Could Do get the added bonus of seeing glimpses of the future Rayne here and there throughout the book. In addition, Baby is the cutest kitten ever!

A great book for fans of Sohmer and Lars and for those who like comic strips about kid life. ( )
