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.

Good-Night, Mama.

Please, dear mama, one kiss—no, two—

Ah, dear mama, we do love you.

Dear little ones, that hate to go,

Saying “Mama, we love you so.

Good-night, mama.”

Soft little arms that clasp so tight,

Soft rosy lips that kiss good-night,

Quite bare feet that patter to bed,

When at last the babies have said

Good-night, mama.
