With its endearing, unabashedly self-pleased star, I Am a Baby will find a place at showers, in nurseries, on parents’ shelves and in the hands of appreciative big siblings, as it celebrates the changes a little one brings, at once challenging and full of love.Trade ReviewBob Shea's I Am a Baby is a genuinely funny look at new parenthood through the blithely unaware (but extremely pleased with themselves) perspective of a newborn baby. Hilariously deadpan, this is perfect for someone who's already run the first-time parenting gauntlet to share with someone still in the trenches. * Readings *
