Hatched!: The Big Push from Pregnancy to Motherhood

Sloane Tanen's book takes you on a comical ride through motherhood that can only be told through the eyes of one funny chick. This is a great book to give as a gift--or better yet treat yourself!

I'm a slave to the chickens! I don't know how she does it, but Tanen keeps the chickens fresh and engaging--smart little hens that they are. My friend's daughter is so hooked on the CoCo books that she's insisting on an exact rendition of CoCo's birthday party from All Year Round. If you're going to buy this book as a shower gift, you'll also want to know about the new CoCo board books for counting and ABC's, they're cheep (I couldn't help it) and gorgeous and perfect!

Sloane Tanen takes what new mother has secretly thought/felt and puts it out in the world in an honest, hysterical, laugh out loud way. I absolutely adore this book and am giving it to every mother I know this year.

I LOVE this hysterical book. It is the perfect baby shower/new baby/mother's day gift. It is laugh out loud funny. Sloane Tanen takes birth and motherhood and turns it inside out. She is brilliant, creative, edgy and honest. This book is a joy from cover to cover. Buy it, share it. It is the hippest thing you can own.

It's time Sloane Tannen gets recognized as one of the funniest, laugh out loud, creative authors around. Every time I mention her name someone says, "I love her books! She's a genius. I give `Bitter with Baggage' for every birthday. Every holiday!" She's the kind of author who makes you feel hipper and better about yourself just for knowing who she is. With this book, she's taken on what could have been the worn subject of motherhood, but of course, in her hands, it's gold. She is fresh, funny, and I can't imagine a better, more appreciated gift for a new mother or any mother. Run don't walk. And enjoy.
