Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Luke finds out that family can be fantastic just the way it is in this witty picture book from the author-illustrator of Matthew ABCs and Question Boy Meets Little Miss Know-It-All .
Luke is used to having Mom and Dad all to himself, to play soccer and build forts with. But now that they are expecting a new baby, they always are too tired or too busy to play. So Luke dreams of having new parents to play with--the newbies!
His new parents have all the time in the world for Luke, but some things just aren't quite right...like the way new Dad's pancakes are different, and how new Mom doesn't cut sandwiches into triangles. Getting all the attention is wonderful, but Luke wonders if perhaps his original parents are still the best parents for him!
"A Richard Jackson Book."
A boy whose parents are preoccupied with preparations for a new baby imagines what life would be like if he could have new parents.
Ages 4-8.
