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.

Come and Play.

“I wiss you’d come play wif me, Milly,

I’se tired of playing alone,

Det down now, and let us be horses,

’Oo shall have my new reins for ’oo own.”

“Go ’way, I don’t want to, I feel bad.

I want sister rock me by-bye,

I’se tired of being a horsey,

Go ’way, if ’oo don’t I will kwy.”
