Review:
"Willis's clever and original text will particularly delight older siblings who may also find that babies are a separate species." —Publishers Weekly
"Wickedly funny . . . Ross' bright watercolors are zany and sophisticated, making the most of Willis' wry observations. . . The macabre Twilight Zone ending adds to the fun." —School Library Journal
