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.

Dedicated to All
WEE BABIES

Babies short, and babies tall,
Babies big, and babies small,
Blue-eyed babies, babies fair,
Brown-eyed babes, with lots of hair,
Babies so tiny they can’t sit up,
Babies that drink from a silver cup,
Babies that coo and babies that creep,
Babies that only can eat and sleep,
Babies that laugh and babies that talk,
Babies quite big enough to walk.
Dimpled fingers, and dimpled feet,
What in the world is half so sweet
As babies that jump, laugh, cry, and crawl,
Eat, sleep, talk, walk, creep, coo, and all
Wee Babies?
