Book Reviews of Baby Blues: Ten Years and Still in Diapers: A Baby Blues Treasury
Book Review: Pretty Close to Reality
Summary: 5 Stars
I have become quite fond of a handful of comic strips in the daily paper. Baby Blues is one of my favorite because it strikes a recognizable chord with memories of families whose children have passed before my eyes in the classroom, not to forget in certain family situations. The Family MacPhersons as they are named, portray everyday family life, that is different vignettes, not necessarily total for any one family.
Mom and Dad manage these two toddlers, often being taught the ropes by these two little packages of psychological tricksters, playing against each other, and playing one parent against the other.
If you "read" this book, a "treasury" of comic strips over the years, you can pretty well learn from Zoe (the older sister), and her brother Hammie, how they attempt to outsmart their Mom and Dad. I particularly like the cover picture, as the reader doesn't necessarily know "who it is that is in diapers for 10 years". There may be an analogy of the cartoonists, Kirkman and Scott to portray the parents as close peers of the two little tricksters/manipulators, and thus the diapers for Mom and Dad, as well, as the two children trying to hold the parents at their level.
If you're looking for a good laugh, borrow this from your local library where this book is catalogued under the Dewey Decimal Number 741.5. You can even have "Baby Blues" as part of your Yahoo home page of favorites; if so, you'll get a daily snapshot of this family, without any effort. Try it; you'll laugh and cry, and remember when something touches your life. And, just in case your computer recovers from its recent crash, a book in hand will give you some laughs to cry about. Give it your best shot.
