    About this ebook

    From the day she was born, Nina was a ninja baby. She obliterated her applesauce. She concealed herself at bath time. And she was training herself in advanced infiltration (of movie night). Nina wants to do everything by herself, until the day her parents bring home a Kung Fu Master (a baby brother). Now with a sibling, Nina will face the one thing she cannot do alone: be part of a family. With verve and humor, David Zeltser and Diane Goode tell the story of an unusually gifted child, and the family that is more than a match for her.

      This book is about a baby named Nina who comes out the womb a ninja and wants to do everything for herself. Soon after her parents have another child who gets taken care of by the parents and Nina learns how to be cared for through the baby's example. Good fantasy because babies can not take care of themselves and are not ninjas from birth. Use this for primary and intermediate. illustrations done in pen,ink, and watercolor.

      Delightful!We've all known or been these babies. Diane Goode's illustrations are essential to the story. I love this collaboration.

      Some people will love this and rush right out to buy copies for all their pregnant friends. Bully for them. I get it; I did giggle; I do remember my babies' resemblance to these two. But I give it three stars because *I* didn't really enjoy it very much. For one, I like Diane Goode's older art better, when she was more precise and detailed... this loose style is too much like Jules Feiffer for me. Again, great for others... not for me.

      Ninja Baby was a very active, self-sufficient infant. She made changing time a hand-to-hand combat practice session, had infiltration of movie night down to an art, and knew how to kick the pants of applesauce. Then her parents came home with Kung Fu Master (AKA, a baby brother), and suddenly she wasn't the center of attention any more. Did Ninja Baby really want to be alone, as she'd always thought, or was being part of a family a better option...?A cute ninja take on one of the classic early childhood experiences - i.e.: adjusting to family life with a new sibling - David Zeltser's Ninja Baby is an entertaining story, one greatly enhanced by the droll artwork done by Diane Goode. The illustrations here, done in pen, ink and watercolor, won quite a few chuckles from me, as they expressively captured the eponymous ninja heroine's hi-jinks. Recommended to all young ninjas, as well as to anyone looking for new-sibling stories that are humorous and heartwarming.
