Cute cute cute...the perfect gift for any pregnant couple.
Boss Baby runs the show, demanding immediate action at all times. The illustrations, showing the exhausted parents and the demanding baby - and activities like "spa time" (in a bubble bath) are all hysterical.
This is not a cutesie baby, this is the bossman. (I actually wish he weren't quite so homely. Oh well.) And the way she's done the illustrations - showing lots and lots of lines, giving tetures and depth and added interest to the drawings - is delightful. (It says they were "rendered in black Prismacolor pencils and gouache on a 2-ply cold press paper." )
This is a super book.
