5.0 out of 5 stars Hilariously inappropriate, May 11, 2006

By	Michaela S. "Professional outlier" (Sunnyvale, CA USA) - See all my reviews

The "Baby Be of Use" series is completely hilarious, and makes an AWESOME inappropriate baby shower gift (for anyone with inappropriate-humor-loving, baby-having friends).

It's true, there are some people in this world who might not find it funny to imply that a baby should prepare your breakfast for you, or learn how to make Daddy a margarita (see _Baby, Mix Me a Drink_). You know who you are. If you snickered at all at this idea, you must purchase these books immediately.

The books are the same size and construction as all the other little board books cluttering up your house, so your child can chew them to pieces long before he/she ever figures out what the words mean. The words and illustrations are simple and large, which of course makes the whole thing even funnier.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars FABULOUS BABY SHOWER GIFT!, November 26, 2009

Drawn up to mimic itself as a baby book but the humor is all adult. This whole series is super creative, adorable, and will be the hit of the shower! All my friends could not get enough of these books and all requested where I purchased them so they could do so as well! Make sure you give them to a mother with a sense of humor though!

4.0 out of 5 stars cute but..., July 9, 2008

overrated by previous reviews. The last sentence: Mama's hung. Did they run out of space for hungry? Otherwise, I do agree it is sarcastic and hilarious. Fun but not worth the list price.
