Disney's "The Incredibles" Jack-Jack Attack: A Little Golden Book adapted by Mark Andrews & Krista Swager, illustrated by Tony Fucile
ages 4-8 24 pages Golden/Disney January 2006 Hardcover    

Behind those adorable blue eyes and too-cute baby face hides a mischievous little imp who can terrorize a babysitter like no one else. Jack-Jack is his name, and being born into The Incredibles family, you know he's got to be something special.

Kari takes babysitting seriously - flash cards and Mozart CDs for neurological stimulation are just part of her childcare arsenal. But Jack-Jack quickly proves to be her greatest challenge as a sitter, disappearing from one room and appearing in another, sitting on the ceiling, biting his way through playpen bars, floating through walls and floors. When Jack-Jack bursts into a toddling fireball, Kari grabs him with the fireplace tongs and douses him, unharmed, in the tub. More flames, burning lasers from his eyes - whatever Jack-Jack can throw at her through the long night, Kari does what any babysitter worth her salt would do - she deals with it.

Based closely on the animated short of the same name and with illustrations suggestive of motion-picture storyboarding, Jack-Jack Attack is a fun, silly romp that acts as a great alternative for young The Incredibles fans who need a little time away from their DVDs and a little more time with books.
