It's ok. I don't have a lot of problems with it, but it's the type of picture book that makes people sit back and think "Hey, I could probably write a picture book, too. This is easy!" Because it's basically exactly what the title says: a list of 15 things you should not do with a baby. Some of the items are mildly amusing--Don't give the baby to an octopus to cuddle--but it doesn't top the list of most creative picture books I've read. It's also not much for practical advice, as you can probably tell. (Don't give the baby to an elephant either!) But perhaps it would make young children generally more comfortable with the idea of adding a baby to the family.
