PS
Baby Brains sure is smart; the infant becomes a practicing M.D., then an astronaut. Alone in space, though, he wants his mommy, and normalcy is restored in the form of a bath, a tickle, and a nap. Pared down to the essentials of plot and character, the story is both poignant and funny. Much of the humor is contained in the illustrations, but it's well supported by the blithe text.
