In this jaunty story in rhyme, Amanda Lynne's mother continually calls for her daughter to help with the baby, repeating, "What an angel he can be." The pictures tell a different story: Amanda Lynne prevents one mishap after another and cleans up after her rambunctious brother. The illustrations use simple lines and bright colors to show, despite the chaos, Amanda Lynne's wry affection for the "angel baby."
