"Lazy Little Loafers" by Susan Orlean

The book Lazy Little Loafers is a funny book about a little girl who wonders why babies don't work. She complains that all babies do is sleep in strollers, hang out with their friends on blankets in the park, eat snacks, and get carried by people everywhere they go. She wonders why babies get praised so much for walking or pushing every single button on the elevator (who wants to stop at every single floor?). The little girl has had enough of babies getting everything they want while she is in school doing math problems, taking tests and wearing stiff new shoes. In the end the little girl comes to the conclusion that babies don't work because they're too smart.
This book had an interesting perspective on how children view others who are younger than them. Many children have younger siblings who get to stay home or sleep while they have to go to school or finish their chores. I really liked it because it was very funny and the conclusion that the little girl comes to in the end is one that I think many children would laugh at as well.
