When Tootie gets her first teeth, it's clear to her big brother that she s no ordinary baby. But how to convince Mum and Dad?

It happens overnight: little sister Tootie goes from cuddly, ga-ga-goo-goo, I-want-mybinky baby to . . . vampire baby. Now she s sinking her pointy fangs into everything - furniture, toys, and especially her big brother ("Youch, Tootie! No bite!"). Mum insists that it s just a phase, but Tootie's brother knows better. Just look at her hairline! Or the fact that all her favorite foods are blood red! With perfect comic timing, Kelly Bennett and Paul Meisel give a fresh slant to the new-baby story, proving that even monstrous little arrivals have a funny way of staking their siblings affections.

Industry Reviews

Simple pen-and-ink and watercolor cartoon illustrations accompany text that may interest a preschool audience with teething younger siblings.
--School Library Journal

Meisel's illustrations, executed in acrylic, watercolor, collage, pencil, ink and pastel, are full of details that add light, humorous touches to the tale, lending just the right touch of charm. Casting Tootie as a potential vampire gives the well-worn new-baby theme a fresh, comic twist.
--Kirkus Reviews

Bennett's humorous conversational text plays to realism (i.e., Tootie is a normal teething baby and her brother's imagination is getting the better of him) while Meisel's clean-lined mixed-media illustrations agreeably maintain the baby-as-vampire conceit.
