One of the earliest collections of Baby Blues strips, Zoe, the oldest is still a very small baby, not even able to stand up yet.

Pretty funny, but it's a bit strange seeing how much the strip has evolved since those days.

I've been reading Baby Blues for a long time and recently decided to buy and read the whole collection and so glad I did! This is one of the very early books in the series from way back in 1992 and in it Zoe is an infant and Hammie and Wren are not yet born. The characters are still evolving in their drawing. But for anyone who has been a parent, this book will still bring strong associations and a lot of laughs, some things about babies never change or age! There is Zoe's first Christmas, they meet their impossibly perfect neighbor Bunny and her baby Bogart, Darryl gets in a car crash, the adventures and laughs go on and on. If you have only recently begun reading Baby Blues or are a fan of the strip, this older collection will take you back to the beginning and it's a great read!

Best read after becoming a parent!

This was a really cute collection of the realities of being new parents. Someone gave this book to me because I just got a new niece and a new baby tends to be a whole family affair, so I passed the book onto my brother and sis-in-law. So they know what they're in for.

The second book. Truly a fun read, especially for new or not so new parents.

I hated this book for the same reasons I hated the first one: mostly the sexism. The only difference is the terrible money morals.
