Am I Missing Something?
According to the ad in the New Yorker, this book is "Hilarious and beautiful...A new father finally understands what it's all about."--Chicago Tribune.But, hello? Does anyone else feel a desperate urge to dive into the cover art and rescue the little baby with its head stuffed under the big puffy, possibly SIDS-inducing blanket? I never really got to the Awwwwwwwww stage that this juxtapostion of Mommy and Daddy's Big Feet and Baby's Tiny Feet was clearly intended to evoke. It just makes me think of a baby kicking for its life.
Final verdict: The author of this book may know all about parenting, but the art department at the publishing house sure doesn't.
