The organization that The Boss Baby (Little Simon, $7.99) has been overseeing for his entire life has experienced a shocking upheaval. His staff, commonly known as “parents,” are distracted and focused on their latest bundle of joy, The Bossier Baby (Beach Lane, $17.99). This new, take-charge CEO, attired in a black onesie and pearls, demands and commands attention from everyone around her. Even outrageous action on the part of the Boss Baby does not elicit a response from his rogue staff. Two-time Caldecott Honor recipient Marla Frazee combines text with pencil and gouache illustrations to perfection in this satirical sequel. As the new boss in town ultimately wins over her big brother, their newfound bond will warm the hearts of everyone in the family. Ages 3-6.

Elderly Eugenia Lincoln has always bossed around her younger sister, still known only as Baby. When Baby ends a lifelong tradition of obedience and declares she is taking “a necessary journey” against Eugenia’s wishes, the latter can only demand, Where Are You Going, Baby Lincoln? (Candlewick, $14.99). On board a train, Baby meets three strangers who help her see that the world is full of joy and possibility. Despite this fulfilling journey, Baby misses her sister and soon discovers that Eugenia has missed her, too. Two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo’s latest installment of Tales from Deckawoo Drive extols the value of both independence and family as Chris Van Dusen’s dynamic illustrations convey the story’s warmth and humor. Ages 5-8.
