Julius, the Baby of the World

After being disappointed in several of Kevin Henkes' board books, my discovery of more of his picture books has been a great relief. My first encounter with Henkes was Lilly's Big Day, which I think is absolutely brilliant.

Julius the Baby of the World is outstanding, well-illustrated liturature, and is excellent reading for a child who has a new sibling, or is expecting one.

One of my measures of a Henkes' book is this question: Does it make me laugh out loud the first time I read it? I burst into laughter several times during this book.
