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.

Hobby Horse.

Get up! horsey bonny,
Who is on your back?
Don’t you know your master?
Your little master Jack?
Go along! you horsey,
Trot, trot hard, I say,
If you don’t go faster,
You won’t get home to-day.
Go along! you Pompey,
Gallop, gallop, go,
Jack will have to whip you,
If you will go so slow.
Get up! get up! Pompey,
That’s a good old horse,
Does your master love you,
Why, certainly, of course.
