Not bad bad, but cute bad. Really cute. Bad Baby is a screamingly funny collection of 247 priceless baby photos matched with candid captions.

Full of utterly adorable faces matched with the full range of baby badness—unrepentent antinappers, street-corner Similac dealers, rebels in a puppy suit—Bad Baby gives voice to the secret inner world of babies, where there’s clearly a lot more going on than wondering where their next binky’s coming from.

Chelsea, wearing only a diaper, who says: “You know that slogan, ‘Just do it’? I just did.”

Danny, chilling on his baby lounger: “I’m in the wetness protection program.”

The tough, cell phone-toting Olivia: “To be honest, Jake, nobody wants to work with a leading man who’s not toilet trained.”

Kieran, sighing in his crib: “Merciful God, if she winds up that musical mobile once more, my head’s going to implode.”
