우수한 어린이 그림책에 수여하는 최고 권위의 Caldecott상을 두차례나 수상한 말라 프레이지의 그림책입니다. "우리 집 꼬마 대장님"이라는 제목으로 번역서가 출간된 "Boss Baby"의 연작이며, 이 책 역시 국내에는 "진짜 대장이 나타났다"라는 제목으로 번역서가 출간되었습니다.

전작인 Boss Baby는 초보 부모와 아기의 모습을 부하 직원과 상사의 관계에 빗대어 그렸다면, 후속작인 이 책은 동생이 태어나는 바람에 하루아침에 오빠가 된 아이가 동생에게 엄마 아빠의 관심을 빼앗기면서 겪는 시련과 그 극복 과정을 유쾌하면서도 따뜻하게 펼쳐 보입니다.

동생이 태어나는 순간 아이들의 마음속은 복잡해집니다. ‘함께 놀 친구가 생기겠구나!’ 하고 설레는 마음과 ‘동생이 엄마 아빠의 사랑을 독차지하면 어쩌지?’ 하는 질투심이 서로 뒤엉키게 되는 것이지요.

이 책은 난생처음 동생을 맞이하는 아이가 끝내 동생의 존재를 인정하고 받아들이는 과정을 아이의 눈높이에서 깊이 공감하면서도 유머러스하게 보여 줍니다. 이 책의 가장 큰 미덕은 아이들이 태어나 처음 겪는 타인과의 갈등을 자신들만의 힘으로 풀어 가는 걸 보여 준다는 데 있습니다. 큰 아이는 동생과 마주칠 때마다 위태위태한 신경전을 벌이지만, 자신의 속상한 마음을 알아주는 집 안 유일한 존재가 동생이라는 사실을 깨닫게 됩니다. 두 아이의 싸움은 삶의 길목에서 몇 번이나 반복될 테지만, 이 책의 끝에서 독자들은 분명한 한 가지를 알게 됩니다. 두 아이는 언제 어디서라도 가장 가까이서 서로를 가장 정확하게 위로할 수 있는 존재라는 것을 말입니다.

Book Description
Two-time Caldecott Honor recipient Marla Frazee’s Boss Baby is back--but this time there’s a new baby sister CEO in town!
Change is in the air--the Boss Baby’s staff has stopped taking his direction! It seems that there is a new CEO in town; from the moment she comes home, Boss Baby’s little sister is extremely loud and is demanding all sorts of corporate perks he never got. Can the Boss Baby and his staff get used to the new corporate structure?


Kirkus *Starred Review*
A new baby sister hands the Boss Baby a demotion.Although this title introduces a new eponymous infant CEO, it, like its predecessor (2010), remains focused on Boss Baby himself. Frazee's text employs a tongue-in-cheek corporatese, which is matched by the Mad Men-esque modern aesthetic of the pencil-and-gouache illustrations. Combined, words and pictures first convey that the Boss Baby's diaper is in a twist over his black-pantsuit-and-pearls-clad baby sister's arrival. "The staff" (their parents) "was strangely delighted" reads the droll text, and her many "perks" compound his misery. Accompanying illustrations show the white baby girl soaking up her parents' adoration while enjoying "the organic catering service" (nursing), "aromatherapy" (diapering), and so on. After the ousted boss acts out and then retreats to sulk, it's the Bossier Baby who literally reaches out to her big brother. After all, "she wasn't CEO for nothing!" An excellent wordless spread shows her reaching up to a shocked Boss Baby, who scoops her up into his arms on the facing page. This snuggle gives way to a scene of domestic bliss with the siblings reading together on the next spread as "the staff" gazes at them adoringly. In a trademark Frazee final page turn, a satisfying conclusion rooted in reality shows that it's not all bliss in the baby boardroom. Someone give Frazee a raise.


Booklist *Starred Review*
A new baby sister has arrived to challenge bespoke-suited Boss Baby’s (first seen in Frazee's The Boss Baby, 2010) dominant position in the home. This infant executive, complete with a laptop and dressed in pearls and a ruffled onesie, has implemented a business plan to restructure the organization from the top down. With her promotion to CEO, her big brother angrily gathers up his toys and stumbles off, demoted and out-bossed. He realizes in abject misery that the staff (aka his parents) seem strangely delighted with the tantrum-throwing hellion. She is fed, cuddled, photographed, and entertained, and her private pram limo exceeds any perks the Boss Baby ever had. Furious, he tries outrageous antics, stripping his clothes off in the street and peeing on the flowers, but no one notices. Discouraged, he crawls into a corner, crying in abject misery. Sensing a breakdown in productivity, the Bossier Baby seeks him out and soothes him, and the company is back to business (at least most of the time.) Frazee’s hilarious artwork in black Prismacolor pencil and gouache captures the challenges and emotions experienced at the arrival of a new sibling. Her wry satire on parenting and family dynamics cleverly captures a child’s feelings in this comical blend of words and pictures. Sheer delight.


Horn Book *Starred Review*
The Boss Baby (rev. 7/10) finds himself sidelined when a new CEO, a string of pearls adding just the right touch to her sleek black onesie, takes over. This Bossier Baby commands more of the staff’s devotion than the Boss ever did (or so it seems to him), and he responds by acting out - “watering” the flowers, for example, with pee. The Dethronement Blues (as Zena used to call them) have proved a durable theme in picture books; Frazee composes a brisk and snappy variation that resists sentimentality until the end, where even the expected alliance of Boss and Bossier gets a little bonk on the head. Everything is round and witty in the pencil and gouache illustrations. If The Boss Baby was mainly for new parents, this companion volume will engage new big sisters and brothers as well.


Publishers Weekly *Starred Review*
In The Boss Baby, Frazee compared first-time parenthood to life under a tiny, bald corporate chief in a one-piece suit. Every bit as funny as its predecessor, this sequel presents the dramatic shake-up after the arrival of the Boss Baby’s infant sister, who “restructure[s] the organization... from the top down.” The new CEO accessorizes her black onesie with a string of chewable pearls, carries an Etch-a-Sketch like a laptop, and “was bossier than the Boss Baby had ever been. Which seems impossible.” The demoted Boss Baby glowers as “the staff” dotes on the CEO and ignores his attention-seeking behavior. Frazee excels at locating the humor in trying situations in her always lovely pencil-and-gouache artwork, picturing the independent toddler stripping naked and peeing on a bed of flowers while his oblivious parents coo at the CEO in her fancy stroller, aka “the private limo.” Elder siblings and parents alike will recognize the tensions that come with a growing family, and the just-sweet-enough resolution proves that this CEO knows how to negotiate a takeover with savvy.


The New York Times Book Review
This follow-up to "The Boss Baby"--coming out as a film in the spring--will please new and old devotees. A pearl-wearing baby arrives at the little proto-corporate-tyrant's house, declaring herself the C.E.O. The staff is "strangely delighted." The demoted Boss Baby tries some protest moves (stripping, peeing outside), all futile, until the C.E.O. reaches out to bond with him. As always, Frazee makes it adorable, witty, and clever, down to the details of the family's midcentury modern showpiece home.
