The latest addition to the anthologized series of the popular newspaper cartoon strip "Baby Blues", Playdate: Category 5 once again reunites us with the family of Darryl and Wanda MacPherson, their three children (Zoe, Hammie, and Baby Wren), along with the motley assortment of their friends and neighbors. The humor arising naturally from the process of parenting and resonates so clearly with the familial experiences of the readers. And then there are those recognizably immortal quotes that range from "Showers are better than baths. If you stand really close to the wall, you hardly get wet!" and " We've gotta learn to travel lighter, or just put some wheels on the house." This latest installment on the life and times of Darryl, Wanda, and the kids, will leave their legions of fans looking eagerly toward the next anthology from wit, wisdom, and laugh-out-loud parenting observations from the cartooning team of Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott!

This book is like all the rest: hilarious and strange i've read them over and over again and they never get boring! :)

And this books made me LAUGH. How WONDERFUL to know I'm not alone in the moments that I want to cry, this "full-time" mothering stuff is so hard, but instead I choose to laugh, not in a small part due to Baby Blues. I don't know if their books mirror my life, or my life mirrors their comedic endeavors, but I'm not complaining. If you're a parent, you will like this book. It'll either bring back memories, or show you what's to come, depending on the age(s) of your bundle(s) of joy. ENJOY!
