What Shall We Do with the Boo-hoo Baby?

32 pp. | Scholastic | October, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-439-15311-5 $$15.95
(3) PS Illustrated by Ingrid Godon. Four talking animals collaborate in an effort to placate a crying baby; only after attempting to feed him adult food, bathing him, and playing with him do they find the winning solution: putting him to bed. The book's humor stems from the absurd premise, the chalky illustrations of animals posed like humans and a baby with outsized tears, and the visual punch line at book's end.
