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.

Candy.

One, two, five, four, just look at what a lot,
Such a many cannies, can’t hold all I’ve got.
Some belong to Leila, and some are mine, you see,
That’s what mama said when she gave ’em to me.
Got so many cannies, don’t know what to do.
Don’t know how to hold ’em, five, four, one and two.
Here are your one’s, Leila, now lets go and play,
Have a nice party, like we did yes-a-day.
Such nice little cannies, we have such a many,
If we eat ’em all up, then we won’t have any.
How many one’s have you left, five or two or four?
Now mine all are eated, wiss we had some more.
