Monster Baby

PreS–A cute twist on the concept of gaining a new member of the family. Children will love that the author has chosen adorable monsters to depict the family of the new addition. The author explores an only child's reactions to all the new changes. Everyone has to eat healthy food now because Mommy must. The child is sad that Mommy can't hold him anymore (because of her growing belly), but it's exciting to see the unborn baby on a screen at the doctor's office. The child feels a little frustrated at first after the baby is born ("I have to play quietly even though the baby is allowed to make as much noise as he likes") but finally embraces his sibling, wanting to share EVERYTHING. This leaves the monster parents with slightly concerned looks as big monster shows baby monster all his toys and games. There are plenty of humorous details in the mixed-media and collage artwork.
