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.

Baby’s Ride.

Oh, where do you think the baby is going
On Nurse’s apron? Blanche calls it a sleigh
And says, “We make believe it is snowing,
And ride through the snow drifts away, away.”
“We think, perhaps, we will go to Iceland,
To see an iceberg or great white bear,
We don’t know whether it is a nice land,
We’ll let you know when we get there.”
“There’s but one thing that we are afraid of,
There is but one thing about which we care,
For when you see what our sleigh is made of,
You will know we’re afraid that it might tear.”
