Summary

"Baby Babble" is a short rhyming poem that follows a baby through a full day in cheerful, bouncy language — from choosing shoes and begging for peas, to teething pain soothed by ice, a lost-and-found comfort toy, splashing in the bath, and finally drifting off to sleep. Told entirely in the sounds and simple phrases real babies make, the poem captures small everyday moments with warmth, rhythm, and just enough drama to keep little listeners eagerly following along.

Which shoes? You choose!

Please, please!

More peas!

Num-num? Yum-yum!

All gone! Full tum.

Sore, sore . . .

Teeth are sore.

Nice, nice! Ice is nice.

Who’s there?

Teddy bear!

Where’s dum-dum?

Baby sad.

There’s dum-dum!

Baby glad.

Splish, splosh!

Time to wash.

Night night, sleep tight!
