While his parents sleep, baby Ezra grows bigger . . . taller . . . HUGER! And, uh oh, he just escaped his crib!
Stomp, stomp, stomp.
Ever wonder where your baby goes at night when you think he’s asleep in his crib? Like most babies, he grows bigger . . . taller . . . HUGER! A Giant Baby! Bulldozers and garbage trucks become his toys. Shipping containers and skyscrapers become blocks, the moon becomes a nightlight, and the whole world becomes a playground.
Until, that is, Ezra’s parents want to check on him in bed. And then it’s stomp stomp stomp back home. Can he make it back inside his crib in time?
From Liz Rosenberg (Monster Mama) and Eva Byrne (Along Came Coco), this fun and funny bedtime adventure follows baby Ezra, who waits until his parents are asleep to grow bigger, taller, HUGER . . . and to make the city itself his plaything.
