Baby Business

By Mittie Cuetara

Hip couples have babies, too, and here is the book for them. With twenty-four tongue-in-cheek four-line poems and an affectionately quirky illustration for each, Mittie Cuetara gives us her larky way of looking at these wondrous creatures. Witty and sophisticated, expressive and knowing, this book celebrates babies going about their daily business, from snacking to napping to screaming to pooping. There is humor-and sometimes exasperation-in the situations portrayed, as well as the joy of having a baby around the house.

Customer Reviews

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.
