Books in "Boss Baby"
The Boss Baby used to run the whole family like a tiny executive. Then his baby sister arrives, and suddenly there is a new person giving orders.
In The Bossier Baby, Marla Frazee turns a new sibling story into a very funny office takeover. The baby sister is loud, demanding, and fully convinced she deserves special treatment. The old Boss Baby has to watch as the family adjusts to a brand-new leader with her own style.
Young readers who know what it feels like when family routines change will enjoy the playful exaggeration, bold expressions, and clever business jokes. Under the humor is a familiar question: how do you make room for someone new when you were used to being in charge?

The new baby arrives with big demands, serious meetings, and a schedule that keeps everyone busy around the clock. From the first day, it is clear who is running the house: the baby.
Marla Frazee’s The Boss Baby turns everyday family life with a newborn into a clever business comedy. Bottles become made-to-order drinks, attention becomes an urgent appointment, and the baby’s tiny suit makes his takeover even funnier. Behind the joke is a familiar truth: a new baby can change everything.
For ages 6 to 8, this picture book is especially fun for readers who understand the chaos of a younger sibling or enjoy humor that works on more than one level. Children can laugh at the baby’s bossy behavior, while adults will recognize the sleepless, busy world around him.
