Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A new baby shows everyone who's really in charge in this hilarious board book from Caldecott Honoree Marla Frazee.</b> <p/><i>From the moment the baby arrived, it was obvious that he was the boss.</i> <p/>The boss baby is used to getting his way--drinks made to order 24/7, a private jet, and meetings around the clock. 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. The brilliant baby-as-boss metaphor drives the book from the start...Clever and empathetic, this book is an especially apropos choice for the baby shower circuit."--"Publishers Weekly", starred review<br><br>* "The author again proves her storytelling chops and her artistic genius in this tongue-in-cheek tale in which text and image overlap seamlessly to deliver a perfectly timed punch line. Parents and older siblings will best appreciate both the visual humor and the new-baby blues presented here. Offer this read-aloud to families experiencing their own infantile corporate takeover."--"School Library Journal", starred review<br><br>* "This wry picture book will appeal to parents, of course, but also to siblings who see a new baby demand so much of mom and dad's time and energy." --"Kirkus Reviews", starred review<br><br>"Paired with perfectly timed, deadpan text, Frazee's artwork is as slyly comic and artfully expressive as ever."--"Booklist"<br><br>"The concept is cute and the execution witty and efficient, with an agreeably concise (and straight-faced) text allowing plenty of room for the pictures to deliver the punch lines...Sure to be this year's baby-shower hit."--"The Horn Book Magazine"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Marla Frazee is a Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Picture Book and two-time Caldecott Honor winner.
