Description
A baby book with a grown-up twist. Since babies don't understand a word being read to them, why not give their weary parents a break with some laugh therapy and commiseration? In this clever incarnation of a baby book of new words, the art is baby oriented, while the text is grown-up hilarious: "This is a house. It's a lot like the one we had to remortgage to pay for your daycare." Of course, as a baby book, it has to end sweetly: "These are mountains. They are what we would move to keep you happy and healthy." For new parents everywhere, it hits all the right notes!
