Bringing Up Baby is an irreverent tribute to one of life's most exciting domestic challenges: the fine art of parenting. With eighty-three illustrations from as many different artists, this fabulous collection provides both poignant reveries and darkly comic revelations. It's the essential reference for every parent, prospective parent, or sworn non-parent. Have kids? Great! Here's a book that brings together a gallery of well-known illustrators who understand your delight, share your terror, and echo the challenges you face daily with eerie and hilarious accuracy. No kids? Even better! Confirm you suspicions about what you're missing out on, whether it's toilet training and temper tantrums or the untimely demise of your personal life. From Roz Chast's proposal for vocational preschools to Robert Neubecker's solution to bedtime problem #49 and Maira Kalman's inspirational piece on hairdos for kids, Bringing Up Baby offers a witty and artful send-up of every parent's goal: to bring up perfect children.
