<b>From the creator of the mega-popular Dinosaur vs.<i> </i>series comes a hilariously deadpan look at new parenthood--from a baby's point of view.</b> <p/><i>I am not sleepy.</i><br><i>I am not sleepy because I am a baby.</i><br><i>Mommy is sleepy.</i><br><i>Mommy is sleepy because I am a baby.</i> <p/>With humor and sympathy, Bob Shea looks at the chaos of life with a baby as amiably narrated by the new arrival. Repeating the mantra (and blithe explanation) "because I am a baby," the tiny narrator leads us through scenes of exhaustion, grumpiness, squishy diapers, spilled milk, cowering kittens, and chubby overfed pups (oopsie!). Playing against the simple, matter-of-fact text are freewheeling illustrations of mess and mayhem, in which the grown-ups' exaggerated body language is sure to send older children into fits of giggles. With its endearing, unabashedly self-pleased star, <i>I Am a Baby </i>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.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Bob Shea<br><b>Publisher:</b> Candlewick Press (MA)<br><b>Published:</b> 06/14/2022<br><b>Pages:</b> 40<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.70lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.90h x 8.30w x 0.40d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781536218329<br><b>Audience:</b> Baby-Preschool<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Publishers Weekly</i> 03/21/2022<br><i>Booklist</i> 06/01
