Baby Business

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.

Mittie Cuetara is the mother of a baby and an older sibling. She wrote Terrible Teresa and Other Very Short Stories and The Crazy Crawler Crane and Other Very Short Truck Stories.
