Baby, Mix Me a Drink (Baby Be of Use) [Board book]

Lisa Brown (Illustrator)

Book Description

Series: Baby Be of Use

Many people are parents, and many parents are thirsty. Yet too many parents allow their infant sons and daughters to lie about idly: napping, drinking milk, and whatnot. Why not put them to work? Observe how tots enjoy the shapes and colors, all the while learning how to mix a variety of basic cocktails. Thanks, Baby!

This "baby book" is meant to put a smile on mom's face, not meant to be taken so seriously and read to baby at story time. It is a great little gift for parents, especially those having their second or third child, when the initial stages of parenting are no longer so frightening and when they can really use a laugh.

As a non-kid person myself, I was delighted to find a baby gift that would both amuse my new-parent friends and represent my own antisentimental view of the little buggers. Yes, this is silly; yes, it's short--it's a board book, after all. But it's sturdy, the illustrations are charming, and you really can mix a drink using the pictures. Have fun with it.

I *love*" Lisa Brown's other works so I bought this book sight unseen. It's not her best work. My recommendations (ranking #s) are: "Baby make me breakfast" (#1), "Baby fix my car" (#2) and "Baby do my banking" (#3). "Baby mix me a drink" is a distant fourth. Then again, it's still fun!
