Taro Gomi gets back to baby board books. Yay for your baby!

Taro Gomi gets back to baby board books. Yay for your baby!

If you're not yet smitten with Japanese illustrator and all-around genius (says us) Taro Gomi, then it's high time. Best known for the breakout hit Everyone Poops, soon followed by his wonderful open-ended Scribbles coloring book for older kids and then, oh, about 350 other titles, he's now starting to build a little baby board book empire, including this fun new title.

Taro Gomi's Mommy! Mommy! is a fabulous addition to a baby's beginner library, when you can't handle one more copy of Goodnight Moon and I Love You This Much. As with the popular Are You My Mother? here two chicks set out to find their mom, stumbling a bit along the way with some, uh...lookalikes.

The simple story and whimsical illustrations mean you won't get tired reading it over and over at bedtime 62 nights in a row. And that, my friends, is saying something. -Liz
