 What Does Baby Want?
Tupera Tupera. Phaidon, $12.95 (22p) ISBN 978-0-7148-7407-4 In this circle-shaped board book, readers are confronted by an increasingly irate baby whose round head fills the page. An unseen mother offers various circular objects (“Aw, you don’t want your tambourine?”) before landing on exactly what her child needs. more  The Littlest Train
Chris Gall. Little, Brown, $17.99 (40p) ISBN 978-0-316-39286-0 After being accidentally knocked off a tabletop town of crisscrossing wooden tracks, a train travels through a mouse hole “tunnel” to the outside world and meets life-size trains of all kinds. Working together, the toy train’s new friends deliver him back where he belongs. more  I Love You Like a Pig
Mac Barnett, illus. by Greg Pizzoli. HarperCollins/Balzer + Bray, $17.99 (40p) ISBN 978-0-06-235483-9 For kids, similes are a gateway to the world of figurative language, but they’re also ripe for absurdist comedy, as Barnett and Pizzoli prove. The silly sincerity of the text goes together with the goofy innocence of Pizzoli’s minimalist cartooning like, well, peas in a pod. more  Warcross
