The Boss Baby Paperback – Picture Book, November 1, 2016

“The Boss Baby” is a story book that most parents can relate to. The new boss arrives in town and the new, first-time parents become his instant minions.From the moment he arrives, properly geared up with tie, briefcase, and tuxedo style footed onesie, he takes over and rules the roost.I came across this adorable book while looking for some Christmas books for my grandchildren to use at my house. I first found the sequel to this book and that led me to this one. Both “The Boss Baby” and “The Bossier Baby” (when a little sister comes to rule) are adorable and so appropriate for my daughter, I picked up both for her as well.The text is funny and the illustrations are spot-on. I recommend both books highly.

One of my favorites, I loved this book! It is hilarious, a fun read and a heads up for the new parent.At first, my daughter-law was upset with the book, she said it made her cry and thought I was being mean giving it to her as a shower gift. After the baby was born, she understood why I gave her the book. We ended up having a good laugh. Welcome to the world of babies!

This is a very funny and sweet children's book. Perfect for new parents. A new baby in the house is basically like working with a new boss, who you can barely communicate with. The ending is very lovely

I bought this for a teacher in our school who is having a baby and had all the teachers sign the end papers with thoughts and wishes for her future baby. I also have this as a picture book for my students to read in my grades 3-8 library. There is also a fun sequel called Bossier Baby.

Hilarious book. We call our baby our little dictator and this book aptly describes the challenges of overworked parents and our baby bosses. Our son is only 3 months old so he doesn't show if he enjoys it or not, but we enjoy reading it to him. It definitely has a story line any parent can relate to. I have gifted this book a couple times and it always goes over well!

This is such a fun book! I love how true it is and the parallel of baby to a boss. Love the 60's aesthetic. Fun read for both baby/kids and grown ups. I chuckle every time. It is a great book to give as part of a shower gift for parents to be. Hopefully it will prepare them for the arrival of their new boss baby!!

Seems funny sort of… to read once… for adults. The kids didn’t seem to see the humor.

I found the hardback version of this book with regular pages a few months before I bought this board book for the toddler that I nanny. It is his favorite book hands down. Finding it here on Amazon and purchasing it in board book form was one of my more brilliant moments. The hardback book had quite a few pages torn and taped together and the board book is identical in illustration and story. He's especially delighted when we get to the line, "and if things weren't done to his immediate satisfaction... HE HAD A FIT!!!" With the baby being shown to be kicking and screaming. I mimic this and he falls apart in laughter.
