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.

The Battle.

Oh, naughty, naughty, naughty,
To knock the baby down,
Oh, what a dreadful temper!
Oh, what an ugly frown!
Why did you do it, Willie?
It wasn’t brave at all,
The baby knows no better
Because he is so small.
He only thought it funny
To overturn your blocks,
You shouldn’t mind, my Willie;
His little playful knocks.
I want my Willie dearie,
To be a little man,
Be kind to little brother,
And gentle as you can.
