Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of an infant is really like? In this bluesy story, sometimes being a baby is enough to make you cry! Oh, baby, wouldn't it be grand to be a baby? No worries, no woes, the whole world doing everything for you. Like floating down easy street. But just wait one guitar-pickin' minute. That's a lie! Babies can't talk, can't walk, can't even really chew. It's enough to make the baby in this story blue, blue, blue. So get ready for a sad tale of soggy nappies, mushy meals and sleepin' behind bars - which rather than making you cry, too, will more likely make you giggle! Groovily illustrated by Lauren Tobia, Carol Diggory Shields' ode to babyhood will have readers feeling anything but blue. This is the new book from the author of Saturday Night at the Dinosaur Stomp. The set-up will have big brothers and sisters rolling on the floor, while the blues riff will have grown-ups grooving with delight. It features irresistible illustrations by the beloved Lauren Tobia of Anna Hibiscus fame. It is great for reading aloud (and singing aloud)!
