The story of his infancy from his eyes

A baby is born with a beard, and the story of his infancy from his eyes is in "Born with a Beard". Author Ted Ringer takes a look at families from the infant's perspective and in the process generates brilliant satire with his excellently compiled prose. Although not a picturebook, the illustrations of George Peters add a certain unmeasurable charm. The story is strong without them, but improved by their presence nonetheless. "Born with a Beard" is highly recommended for anyone looking for some light reading from a unique perspective, and for community library fiction collections.
