* "In a perfect pick-me-up for both older siblings and bleary-eyed
new parents, Frazee hilariously parses their new status. The
brilliant baby-as-boss metaphor drives the book from the
start...Clever and empathetic, this book is an especially apropos
choice for the baby shower circuit."--"Publishers Weekly", starred
review
* "The author again proves her storytelling chops and her artistic
genius in this tongue-in-cheek tale in which text and image overlap
seamlessly to deliver a perfectly timed punch line. Parents and
older siblings will best appreciate both the visual humor and the
new-baby blues presented here. Offer this read-aloud to families
experiencing their own infantile corporate takeover."--"School
Library Journal", starred review
* "This wry picture book will appeal to parents, of course, but
also to siblings who see a new baby demand so much of mom and dad's
time and energy." --"Kirkus Reviews", starred review
"Paired with perfectly timed, deadpan text, Frazee's artwork is as
slyly comic and artfully expressive as ever."--"Booklist"
"The concept is cute and the execution witty and efficient, with an
agreeably concise (and straight-faced) text allowing plenty of room
for the pictures to deliver the punch lines...Sure to be this
year's baby-shower hit."--"The Horn Book Magazine"
