BABY BABY BLAH BLAH BLAH! by Jonathan Shipton This ultimately reassuring picture book—with a surprise twist—offers giggles and sweetness aplenty for young children. Emily loves lists. And when her parents tell her that they are going to have a baby, she makes a very important list—the pros and cons of having a new baby. A sibling is good because you can play pat-a-cake with it, but a baby is mostly bad because it doesn't do anything except suck, dribble, spit up, and cry. Worst of all, when the baby arrives everyone will say baby this and baby that and baby baby blah blah blah! PICTURE BOOK |
