About This Book

A collection of short, illustrated verses that portray infants and toddlers in familiar domestic scenes—play, naps, mealtimes, mischief, outings, and simple fantasies. Each poem uses rhythmic, child-friendly language to celebrate sensory details, family relationships, and small adventures, often observing twins, siblings, neighborhood babies, and everyday mishaps like jam on the face or rainy-day confinement. The volume reads like a series of affectionate snapshots aimed at entertaining and soothing young readers and caregivers.

Neighbour’s Baby.

Let us see the baby,
Tell us, what its name?
Isn’t it a darling!
Wonder when it came.
Let me kiss it Ellen
Let me see its toes,
What dear little fingers,
What a cunning nose.
How old is it Ellen?
Isn’t it a dear!
Ella, do they call it?
Where’s its other ear?
I would like to have one
For my very own,
When will it be able
To walk and talk alone?
