| PreSchool-Grade 2–Using the same irreverent tone that made Eat Your Peas (DK, 2000; o.p.) so much fun, Gray brings to life another familiar topic: the impending arrival of a new baby. The cheeky, freckle-faced narrator eagerly shares the progress of her mother's pregnancy with talk of bras, panties, and "boob cream." Much of the humor is directed toward adults: "Dad says Mom should practice her breathing. Mom says Dad should practice sleeping on the sofa." Increasingly wider, conveniently numbered pages act as tabs for spreads that cover each of the nine months. At three months, "he" is making Mom sick and Dad suggests they name him John. The next month he starts wriggling and Dad wants to call him Elvis. At five months, "He's about the size of an action figure but nowhere near as muscular." At nine months, he's still upside down, but he "looks like a real person, and he's ready for launch." Fortunately, Dad has packed the hospital bag with necessities such as his "sports magazine, and his Game Boy." The family is pleasantly surprised when the infant turns out to be a girl. The wacky, digitally colored cartoon characters match the mood of the text. Although this unusual title will not appeal to everyone, the attractive format and quirky humor make it an appropriate choice for larger collections.–Piper L. Nyman, Fairfield/Suisun Community Library, Fairfield, CA

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I wasn't sure what to think of this book, it's a little tounge-in-cheek, but my 3 year old ADORES it! She laughs at the pictures and the silly commentary. She has asked me to read it over and over. I think it is helping her come to grips with the arrival of her new baby sister, and to understand what is happening to me, her mommy. Cute pictures, fast read - we checked it out from the library and then had to go buy it! |
