My kids (boy 4, girl 2, boy 2 mos.) LOVE this book. I've read funnier books, but they act like they haven't. It makes them laugh every time we read it over and over and over... It is good for creating conversation about a new baby in the house, so that is an added bonus when dealing with that stress.
Excellent cat illustrations and the baby looks alarming!

I didn't understand this book for a long time- probably because I got it when my eldest was just a little baby. I appreciated the illustrations, especially the tormented cat, but I just couldn't understand the intrusion that the children felt when this baby visited. My children love babies, but in a few years they will understand the havoc they wreak- maybe they'll even understand the havoc of my house. :-) I love Susan Meddaugh's illustrations, and love them even more now that we've discovered the "Martha" books.
