Bad Baby
Not bad bad, but cute bad. Really cute. Bad Baby is a screamingly funny collection of 247 priceless baby photos matched with candid captions.
There’s Gabriella at the wheel of the family “Don’t try to stop me—I’ve put up with you for eleven months.”
Chelsea, wearing only a diaper, who “You know that slogan, ‘Just do it’? I just did.”
Danny, chilling on his baby “I’m in the wetness protection program.”
The tough, cell phone-toting “To be honest, Jake, nobody wants to work with a leading man who’s not toilet trained.”
Kieran, sighing in his “Merciful God, if she winds up that musical mobile once more, my head’s going to implode.”
And the squinting Isabel, illustrating Bad Baby Early Warning Sign #333: Baby bores visitors with endless Don Corleone impersonations.
Full of utterly adorable faces matched with the full range of baby badness—unrepentent antinappers, street-corner Similac dealers, rebels in a puppy suit— Bad Baby gives voice to the secret inner world of babies, where there’s clearly a lot more going on than wondering where their next binky’s coming from.

More poop jokes than I'd have thought could fit in one marginally cute book.

Good idea, but bad execution. For a book that is trying to be funny, very few of the entries were funny. The pictures of babies were pretty cute. Sometimes the titles were funny as well, but the additional lines under the baby photo were never funny.
Example: A picture of a baby wearing his dad's shoes and a scarf. The title is " I'm going to slip into something dry. Help yourself to a chilled binky." (p. 94)
Under the picture is the following
Name: Shulian
Future Plans: Waging war on apathy
The title is kinda cute. Dressed up baby saying something that adults might say, but the bottom part about future plans doesn't even make sense.

It is what it is: a silly picture book, best used as a coffee table or bathroom book. I don't understand what the people who rated it so low expected.
