Illustrated by
Amanda Shepherd.
Rhyming text follows the antics of one silly baby whose every excursion--to the zoo, circus, and farm--results in being left behind while Mom departs with an animal replacement ("...there was a hitch... / my baby got switched, / and I went home with a buffalo!"). Rollicking oil-paint illustrations make use of round-edged shapes to show Mom's and Baby's fantastic adventures.
