Night Shift: Baby Blues Scrapbook 23

YOU CALL THIS A COFFEE BREAK?!

They're young, smarter than they look, and incessantly on the go. Nope, it's not the latest generation of college grads — it's Hammie, Zoe, and Wren of the Baby Blues comic strip by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott! If Mom and Dad are ready to designate the chores, they've got the perfect excuse. Time-outs? These three know how to play the blame game. Don't let their small stature deceive you — they're always up to something big (and sticky). To keep up with them, you've got to take the Night Shift: Baby Blues Scrapbook #23 (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $10.95).

Kirkman and Scott's cartoons illustrate the simple pleasures that make a young parent smile: a freshly painted carpet, a bathroom in the midst of an ‘emergency', and those life-affirming shocks you receive when a child discovers static electricity.

Things that took top priority before kids arrived don't hold sway with the night shift crew: a spotless home, coffee breaks at a secluded cafe...even a silent afternoon evokes suspicion rather than serenity!

Hammie, Zoe, Wren, and their courageous parents prove that when life hands you an empty box of cereal, you simply go to the couch cushions for breakfast!
