Give this book to every expectant parent you know! "Toddie" is just like every other baby...stinky diapers, teething, first steps, the whole thing...he's just BIGGER. This book is a gentle poke at all of us parents who think our baby chores are bigger than everyone else's; Hawkes does a wonderful job at reminding us that no matter how huge that dirty diaper seems, there's a REALLY cute baby at "end" of it ;)

Recommended by Susan! Read this last night with Lily D., who has a new toddler in the family, and she pointed out, "You know, without the pictures making jokes, this would be a regular baby story." But giant Toddie is no regular baby. Enjoyed the Maine accent and visual jokes throughout. Would be good paired with The Bunyans by Audrey Wood.

This picture book is a good one! I just hear accents from the Northeast as I read this one. This story is set in Maine and is about a giant toddler. Even though he is "wicked big" the family still loves him, even at diaper time.

Literally a "tall tale". This is a one joke book--just endless scenes of life with a Paul Bunyan like baby.
But the pictures ARE funny--especially the diaper change scene with the folks in hazmat suits!

I "read" this book on vacation -- okay it's a children's book and took about 5 minutes to read. But the illustrations are wonderful. We brought it home from Maine.
