Such a funny and dead-on story imagining a baby as a demanding boss - with one little nod to hilarity.

This is a super cute book that both my husband and I and our children really enjoyed. It's funny and very true to life. Puts a humorous spin on parenting a new baby.

My daughter just had to check this book out! She loves the movie “Boss Baby”, so she wanted this book! We read it multiple times before returning it to the library.

It’s very different from the movie, but I could see how this book could inspire that story or vice versa. This will probably be a book we check out again!

This book was so, so fun and definitely makes a lot of sense once you plunge into it.  Marla Frazee truly does it again, both with the story and the artwork.  And for those wondering--while the movie was definitely based off of the book, the two are hardly alike, save for the basic premise of the plot (both have vastly different interpretations).  The book is something I'd definitely get for new parents, or for young children who are expecting a sibling.  In the end, it's ultimately lighthearted and very sweet.
