This book is a favorite of mine....but maybe not my 3 year old. Main reason: I really think some of the humor in this book is above most preschool/kindergarteners heads, and possibly early elementary. That being said, I still find this book to be a great example of journaling and memoir. Kids LOVE journals, yes, the powerful hand of Diary of a WImpy kid still lingers! Told from the perspective of a baby, the reader experiences first impressions of the world and everything that goes on it, beginning with birth where the baby reveals the embarrassment of being born naked. Baby soon begins to learn things: ability to grab things, not to bite own ankles, that people grow, and a new high-chair workout. The baby so badly wants to earn the friendship of the "worldly super chick that knows everything", also known as, the sister! Cracking up just thinking about it! If you need a good laugh, and you don't have alot of time, grab this picture book to read. You might even decide to share it with your kiddos!
