You Are My Cupcake
Joyce Wan. Scholastic/Cartwheel, $6.99 (14p) ISBN 978-0-545-30741-3
"You are my cupcake... My sticky little gumdrop... My mushy little sweet pea," coos this plucky board book featuring terms of endearment based on cutely personified foods. Embossed for a satisfying tactile effect, Wan's digitized characters, reminiscent of Japanese animation, have chocolate-brown eyes and rosy cheeks. "Baby, I could just eat you up!" concludes the adoring final spread. All that's left of the cupcake is its smiling, green liner. Presumably, no actual cupcakes were harmed in the making of this crowd-pleasing plum. Ages 4%E2%80%938. (Aug.)
