But when his demands aren't getting proper responses, he has to go to new lengths to achieve the attention he deserves. <p/>Marla Frazee brings her signature wit and humor--along with adorable illustrations--to a book that explores the effect of one family's very unusual new arrival. This Classic Board Book edition is perfect for the youngest of readers (and the smallest of hands)!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>* "In a perfect pick-me-up for both older siblings and bleary-eyed new parents, Frazee hilariously parses their new status.
