These new editions are smaller in size (both in trim and number of pages) than the originals, but their humorous take on parenthood remains intact. The text tells all the things parents are incapable of--sleeping late, limiting kisses to one--but the pen, ink, and watercolor illustrations tell a different story. Review covers these titles: What Dads Can't Do and What Mom's Can't Do.
