Family & home stories (Children's&YA); Humorous stories (Children's&YA); Personal & social issues: family issues (Children's&YA)

Timed to release with its sequel (The Wicked Big Toddlah Goes to New York), Kevin Hawkes's story of a giant baby is now in Dragonfly.

This was Kevin's first original picture book in many years, and with it, Kevin proves his standing as not just a talented artist but a gifted, funny storyteller.

With the same sense of the absurd that characterizes his illustrations, Kevin tells the hilarious story of a giant baby in his first year of life,as he goes through all stages of devlopment.

Related with a quientessential Maine twang, this book will have kids laughing large as they chart the development of a most unusual ""toddlah.""

Humorous, wacky, and great fun, this is a story sure to appeal to kids and parents alike.

Absolutely nothing exciting happens in Maine . . . nothing, that is, except for the birth of one giant baby. ""That's one wicked big toddlah you got there!"" exclaims Uncle Bert . . . and so Toddie is named.

Toddie's a baby just like any other . . . sort of. The thing is, he's big-really big. That means really big diapers, really big teeth, really big everything. From new booties that wear out the knitter to a bath in the ocean (it's fun to play with boats!), Toddie goes through all the stages of baby's first year . . . it's just a little different for Toddie.

Kids will laugh out loud as they see Toddie get into more and more trouble. . . it's time for giant laughs all around!
