Synopsis

From the creator of the #1 New York Times bestseller Hark! A Vagrant and The Princess and the Pony comes a teeny tiny royal ruler - all hail King Baby! King Baby is gracious - bestowing smiles on his public, allowing tickles and hugs, and posing for photo after adorable photo. But this King also has many demands, and when his faithful subjects can't quite keep up, King Baby must take matters into his own hands... A laugh-out-loud take on the joy (and the exhaustion!) of having a new lovable little tyrant.

About this title

Review:

"Readers aged three to five will adore the dictatorial toddler in Kate Beaton's King Baby [...]" * The Irish Times * The perfect book to entertain new parents and young children alike. * Irish Independent * Everything about this book is funny: even the title itself is smirk-inducing. The cover is a joyous thing to behold and the joy continues... King Baby is genuinely brilliant. The clever text and genius illustration play against each other to hilarious effect. King Baby is a fantastic premise, expertly executed. It will have adults and children in stitches, and like all great comedy, it shows something true. Buy it for every new parent you know. * Booktrust * The grandiosity of his [King Baby's] speech echoes Beaton's popular Hark! A Vagrant web comic, and will amuse readers both young and old. * The Irish Times * Also from Walker comes King Baby, Kate Beaton's hilarious take on baby solipsism and parental abasement. [...] Beaton's second picture book is rich in egg-shaped infant chrysalises and her trademark manic humour, which will appeal to both parent and child. * The Guardian *
