Book Description

April 1, 2008
"Nothing is certain but death and taxes. And laundry." --Baby Blues proverb

When the recipe box has more pizza coupons than recipes, or for those parenting days when all you seem to accomplish is brushing your hair and making a tray of ice cubes, Baby Blues offers parental fatigue redemption. The brainchild of Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott, this Baby Blues treasury features cartoons from Briefcase Full of Baby Blues and Night Shift.

From prophetic Baby Blues proverbs like, "The grass is always greener on the knees of your kid's new white pants," to Dinner Table Olympics where Synchronized Whining is the main event, young parents Darryl and Wanda keep pace with energetic children Zoe, Hammie, and baby Wren, as Kirkman and Scott expertly navigate the daily nuances of newborns, nocturnal diaper changes, and the nirvana of family life.

Great! April 18, 2008
Format:Paperback
Another great treasury of Baby Blues! Be warned however, all these strips are also in the two newest non-treasury books (a Briefcase full of Baby Blues, and Night Shift). [But isn't that what a treasury is?]

This is an excellent example of the authors recycling prior released material to sell another book! First of all, I love the Baby Blues strip and have all of the collections of strips that have been published up until now. I was excited to see that another collection was being released of what I assumed was strips published in newspapers over the last year as these collections normally are. I started reading this collection. I thought as I read that I had already seen these. I looked at the first few pages to see if the authors mention the prior release of these strips, but could find nothing at first glance.

This book is a combined collection of "Briefcase Full of Baby Blues" and "Night Shift" which are the last two books that were published. You only find this out by the small print on the bottom of the outside back cover. This is deceitful to readers, but I guess the authors laugh all the way to the bank. I won't order their collections again on the "pre-order" option by Amazon again. I will wait in the future for the book to be in my local chain bookstore so I don't get cheated again. The books are never released anyway when the publisher says it will be. It has been 30 to 60 days later each time.

A request by a granddaughter. They love reading these in the newspaper and we share the laughs with each other. She loves the book, read it entirely right after opening the gift.
