New baby brothers are

loud

stinky

and totally boring.

But are they tasty, too?

All the grown-ups in Tom’s life seem to think Baby Nathaniel looks cute enough to eat.

Would they really eat a baby for dinner?

Could Tom be next?!

Children will giggle and parents will smile as Amy Young puts a delicious twist on the classic new baby tale.
Amy Young trained as a fine artist at Yale and went on to receive an MFA in painting from Indiana University, as well as a law degree from Harvard. She worked as a lawyer for several years before turning in her law books and picking up a paintbrush. She now writes and illustrates full time.  Visit Amy at www.amyyoungart.com.

Praise for Don't Eat the Baby by Amy Young:

“… [Young] has a way of making color seem almost delicious...” —Publishers Weekly

"...a sweet and original little read in a market glutted with new-sibling stories" —Kirkus
