But then I have certain triggers that always make me pick up books and the buildings on this cover are one of those triggers, so the baby is sort of just coming along for the ride.Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651401312450990123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055640445288546798.post-44273535126661715882009-02-23T11:10:00.000-05:002009-02-23T11:10:00.000-05:00Non-mom here.

Not only is the baby headless, it's pose is simply not cute from that angle. Why not lower the baby from the sky on it's back, smiling? And the author's name being the cradle.<BR/>This would create a totally different expression.And the diaper would not take the centerfold anymore...<BR/>PS: Sorry for the rant, as an artist and designer I simply can't stand such abominations.<BR/>PPS:Love the lonely "a novel" stuck all the way on the topDisasterPartyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108867511521063228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055640445288546798.post-2953607022142324782009-02-12T22:36:00.000-05:002009-02-12T22:36:00.000-05:00I have two children.
