Baby's Got the Blues

32 pp. | Candlewick | March, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-3260-1 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lauren Tobia. Who can blame a baby for singing the blues? Representative lyrics from this soulfully silly book (with more parent- than kid appeal): "I'd like to eat some pizza, / Macaroni, or beef stew, / But I haven't got a single tooth, / So I can't even chew." Happily, the conclusion is pop-song upbeat. Tobia uses spare lines to capture the baby's emotions.
