Product Description
Product Description
You won't see anybody saying "Koochie koochie koo" to these babies. Just as "Bad Cat" and "Bad Dog" ripped the lid off the world of "cute" housepets, "Bad Baby" strips away all the illusions of innocence that have been swaddling babies for centuries, revealing them in all their petulant, pretentious, and potty-mouthed glory. Babes in arms? How 'bout babes up in arms. Baby talk? Forget it. These cherubs graduated from "Goo goo" school a long time ago. Now they're bundles of bitchy commentary, barbed conversation, and appallingly adult thoughts. Rachael speaks for babies everywhere when she's says, "Please, I beg of you-stop singing 'The Wheels On The Bus.", Same goes for Justine, who announces, "The only reason I make these cute faces is so that you'll support me till I'm 37." Then there's the officious-looking Justine, in sunglasses with a mobile pressed to her ear: "To be honest, Jake," she's saying, "nobody wants to work with a leading man who's not toilet-trained." Every glimpse of baby's fate is enough to make veteran parents, new parents, and parents-to-be scream-but mostly with laughter! Full of impossibly adorable faces, unexpected utterances, and a completely refreshing indecency, "Bad Baby" goes where no book has gone before: Into the dark hearts and polluted minds of our most precious commodity.
Book Description
Not bad bad, but cute bad. Really cute. Bad Baby is a screamingly funny collection of 247 priceless baby photos matched with candid captions. Theres Gabriella at the wheel of the family SUV: Dont try to stop meIve put up with you for eleven months. Chelsea, wearing only a diaper, who says: You know that slogan, Just do it? I just did. Danny, chilling on his baby lounger: Im in the wetness protection program. The tough, cell phone-toting Olivia: To be honest, Jake, nobody wants to work with a leading man whos not toilet trained. Kieran, sighing in his crib: Merciful God, if she winds up that musical mobile once more, my heads going to implode. And the squinting Isabel, illustrating Bad Baby Early Warning Sign #333: Baby bores visitors with endless Don Corleone impersonations. Full of utterly adorable faces matched with the full range of baby badnessunrepentent antinappers, street-corner Similac dealers, rebels in a puppy suitBad Baby gives voice to the secret inner world of babies, where theres clearly a lot more going on than wondering where their next binkys coming from.

I recently bought this book and love it. I knew that I would not be disapointed because I love the Bad Dog and Bad Cat books. I had to bring it to work and share it with my friends, who all thought that it was hilarious.
