"'Congratulations,' said the doctor...'You have a ninja baby.'" Baby Nina's ninja-like antics included escaping from her crib and side-kicking her applesauce. And when Mom and Dad bring home a newborn "Kung Fu Master," Nina's jealousy knows no bounds. Zeltser's matter-of-fact text and Goode's kicky, over-the-top pen, ink, and watercolor illustrations combine for a lively sibling-rivalry tale complete with an entertaining twist ending.
