The Baby Hustle Jane Schoenberg , illus. by Liz Conrad. S&S/Little Simon , $7.99 (12p) ISBN 978-1-4169-8050-6

“Shake, shake, shake,/ let’s do the baby hustle./ It’s not easy getting this show on the road!” As baby’s parents try to prepare for an outing, baby throws diapers, plays peek-a-boo, and loses a shoe. Young readers should enjoy the interactive elements—making the baby’s bottom shimmy—but the joke may connect best with long-suffering parents. Up to age 4. (Apr.)
