Latest read - Stupid Baby by Stephanie Blake

It's now a ritual for Abel and I to stop by the library on our way back from Kidzone twice a week.  It's a way for us to spend a bit of "Us time" and for him to pick some books and me to pick magazines.

As the library system here is slightly different to that in Auckland, I find our current method work quite nicely.

Abel has decided to pick this book. The title puts me off a bit - it's called Stupid Baby. BUT Abel doesn't read yet so he has picked it purely based on the graphic of the book. The book is an instant hit with Noel. First of all, Noel finds the title hilarious. 

The story is about Simon who has a new baby brother.  This is an 'excerpt' from the back cover:

"When's that stupid baby going back to the hospital?"

"But Simon, he's your little brother: You know perfectly well he's here to stay."

"Forever?"


It's a sweet story and now the boys have requested that we must borrow POO BUM the other book written by the same author. Boy, I look forward to reading poo bum.

Happy reading.
