Two Long Ears

Baby’s first body mod? Not quite, but this board book might be some readers’ first encounter with septum piercings, stretched earlobes, and neck tattoos. (Families who already have these and other kinds of body art will be right at home.) Making his children’s debut, Boehne counts from “one ring in a nose” to “ten numbers on knuckles,” with thickly painted portraits showcasing each modification—a man with teal skin has “three roses” tattooed onto his clean-shaven head, while an elderly woman with curly gray hair, bright red skin, and eyeglasses has “seven stars” tattooed near her hairline. A poster to color is included. Up to age 6. (Mar.)
