他网站书评：Starred Review. PreSchool-Grade 1–Mr. and Mrs. Brains "wanted to make sure their baby was going to be very smart," so they read aloud, played music and languages, and turned up the news for the child in Mrs. Brains's tummy. Sure enough, Baby Brains is discovered reading the newspaper on his very first morning at home. He attends school the following day, announcing his desire to study medicine. In just two weeks, he begins his medical practice and is discovered by the press. When scientists invite him to join their next mission, the world watches as he walks in space. But he reacts to the immensity of space as any infant astronaut might, by wailing to Ground Control, "I want my mommy!" He's rushed home to hugs, warm baths, tickles, lullabies, and the life of a pretty normal infant–except on weekends, when "he still liked to help out at the local hospital." Beginning with the diaper-clad tot perusing a stack of books on the title page and closing with him at his laptop wearing his onesie, this tongue-in-cheek tale will tickle the funny bones of young listeners. The loose and playful lines of the watercolor-and-ink illustrations are used judiciously and to great effect; this economy applies as well to the carefully controlled and well-paced text. The perplexed and awed adults and the absurdly competent baby are perfectly silly and delightful. From the far reaches of space to the snuggly warmth of his welcome home, readers will enjoy the adventures of "the smartest baby in the whole world."–Carol Ann Wilson, Westfield Memorial Library, NJ�
