Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
When the New Baby Comes, I'm Moving Out
Martha Alexander · 2006
74/100
👍 Worth It
Oliver's outrage at the incoming baby is so recognizable it gets a laugh out of parents and a knowing nod from kids. Martha Alexander keeps the tone honest and funny without over-explaining, which is exactly right for the age. Dated art aside, this one has earned its place on the new-sibling shelf after five decades.
