I just don't appreciate this, I guess. I mean, I had to use a leash on my youngest, so I get it, but I wasn't a single mom either and I'm just exhausted for this poor woman, and can't think about the humor of it. Translation seems awkward to me, too.

I can definitely understand the high community rating, but I found the translated rhymes awkward, and some of the pictures were too detailed for my old eyes. Still, I appreciate Rolla's library for saving their old books so I can make discoveries like this! I wonder if they have the first Wild Baby book....

I don't know if it's the translation or what, but there is something unusual about this book (for instance, the line, "Some of their friends are really dumb"--I'm sorry, did that just happen?). Maybe I'm being a stodgy American here, but this book makes me slightly uncomfortable. Four stars for the art, two for the story, in which two little pigs disobey their mom and get away with it.
