Lazy Little Loafers (2008) is Susan Orlean’s only children’s book, and it brings her magazine-profile style to an unexpected subject: babies. Orlean treats infants as if they were the fascinating, slightly eccentric characters she profiles for The New Yorker, cataloging their peculiar habits with affectionate deadpan humor.

The book was illustrated by G. Brian Karas and is aimed at both children and the adults reading to them. It is a brief, playful departure from Orlean’s usual narrative nonfiction, but her voice comes through clearly on every page.
