Care.
Mamma has gone for a moment,
And all the world is awry,
For it takes so very little
To make this baby cry.
About This Book
The collection offers short lyrical poems and illustrated vignettes aimed at young readers, depicting babies and domestic scenes, playful animals, and simple moral lessons. Verses celebrate everyday moments—infant antics, grandmotherly affection, kittens at mischief, a rude rabbit learning courtesy, winter play, and egg hunting—often with light humor and rhythmic cadence. Language and images emphasize affection, curiosity, and small-scale adventures while alternating playful description with gentle instruction, making the pieces suitable for reading aloud or for children learning to observe family and nature.
