Author/illustrator Lisa Brown's internationally reknowned "Baby Be of Use" instructional boardbook series has revolutionized infant and child productivity rates in the developing world. And the Walton Family's richer and the rest of us are a little less poor because of the everyday low prices she's helped deliver with such titles as:
Now McSweeney's is offering Brown's first two titles in the US [Baby, make me some Nikes, was only released in the Northern Mariana Islands, which counts as "Made In USA" for every industry except publishing. Where's Jack Abramoff when you need him?]. The "Baby Be of Use Bundle" includes two boardbooks, Baby, make me breakfast. and Baby, mix me a drink. and two of those [presumably child-made] coasters for the low, low price of $15.00 [$13.50 on sale!]. Just in time for Dave Eggers' kid to work the office holiday party for The Believer.
