King Baby
King Baby | Kate Beaton
19 posts | 26 read | 18 to read
All hail King Baby! He greets his adoring public with giggles and wiggles and coos, posing for photos and allowing hugs and kisses. But this royal ruler also has many demands, and when his subjects can't quite keep up, King Baby takes matters into his own tiny hands. Created by Kate Beaton, author of The Princess and the Pony and #1 New York Times bestsellers Hark! A Vagrant and Step Aside, Pops!, this modern, funny, and (let's be honest) realistic take on life with a new baby is the perfect gift for anyone with an adorable little monarch in their world.

Adorable. This is one of my favorite books to read aloud at library story time because kids love it and it makes the parents laugh, too. Cute and funny.

It‘s alright I guess. A baby is born and heaped with praise. But then the baby gets cranky and decides it‘s time to crawl, then walk and play. And soon there is a queen baby. At first I thought it read like a big brother complaining about his little brother, and I kind of wished that was how the story played out. It‘s cute, but that‘s about it.

Yesterday was busy - so busy I didn't stop by Litsy! Today is Mom's birthday and she wanted both of us to stay at home, in pajamas, and read. I managed to get through the above books, and almost all are now on my wishlist (esp When Green Becomes Tomatoes and Autumn in a Jiffy). This was the one of the last fall-weather days (30s on Saturday!) and it was nice to see some ☀️and have a lazy fall day.

LeahBergen Fun!! 7y
saresmoore So fun! I'll be grabbing some of these at the library tomorrow! 7y
LauraBeth Sounds like a good day 😀 7y

Meeting Kate Beaton just made me love her books even more! Not only does she have a great sense of humor but she was extremely patient with the overly excited group of kids that came to meet her. 😂 I can't wait to see what she does next!

GUYS, KATE BEATON HAS A NEW PICTURE BOOK OUT AND IT IS HILARIOUS AND PERFECT!

[DELETED] 1409720085 Buying immediately. 8y
CuriousTeeth Am I terrible person if I say I didn't love this one as much as I hoped I would? I mean, such great eyebrows! But I feel like the story never really went anywhere. 8y
Carol @CuriousTeeth of course you're not a terrible person! Every book its reader. I thought aimed at a very young toddler this book hit the mark, but that's just my opinion. I would love to see this story expanded though. Maybe she could write a sequel for Queen Baby and she could grow up and go on preschool adventures? Basically I've talked myself into wanting a toddler detective. Oh my 😂 8y
angrylilasian I loved King Baby but Princess and the Pony will always be my favorite. 😄 8y

This book was SO cute! It's a wonderful picture book to pick up for young kids, particularly those with a new sibling on the way. (Snagged at ALAAC16)
