Mama's Home!
Paul Vos Benkowski. Chronicle Books, $5.95 (12pp) ISBN 978-0-8118-4214-3
Injury-prone infants should appreciate the goofy Oopsie! Ouchie! by Adair Lara, illus. by Jennifer Herbert. The book opens with a visit to the doctor, who proposes silly explanations for the ""boo-boo"": ""Did you step on something mushy... and fall upon your tushie?"" Herbert's illustrations relate a gamut of comical emotions. Mama's Home! by Paul Vos Benkowski, also illus. by Herbert, takes a similarly silly tack, as Daddy and daughter eagerly await Mama's arrival (""Is that Mama? No, that's not Mama... that's just a pirate ship""). (Apr.)
