There's a new baby in Simon's house. "When's that stupid baby going back to the hospital?" he asks. "He's been here for three whole days "

This follow-up to the international bestseller Poo Bum cleverly subverts the new baby genre--with a happy ending. Simon is jealous of the tiny new baby in the house and can't believe it's here to stay. His parents don't seem to understand the problem. But Simon soon discovers that a baby brother makes some things much better after all.

Industry Reviews

"I love Stupid Baby for its provocative attitude and for the wonderful, simple, evocative pictures... It's going to work best if the reader can treat it with real humour and zest, the kids will certainly get it."

-- Radio New Zealand

"The strong, gem-like colours and simple, clear composition of the cartoon-style illustrations are visually appealing. And Simon is an engaging character, his predicament a familiar one. Stupid Baby is an entertaining exposition of childhood fears, handled with aplomb, humour and insight"

-- Canberra Times (AU)

"From the author of the delightful Poo Bum, comes more about mischievous bunnies who make us laugh."

Great for sharing with the very young around the time of a new baby's arrival. Despite his bad-mouthing of the babe, Simon is an endearing character whose charms endure no matter what. Stephanie's bold, bright illustrations are hilarious and splendidly expressive.
