Bye-a Baby Bunting, and Other Rhymes

A delightful collection of short, sing‑song verses that bounce between homey scenes and playful nonsense, this book feels like opening a well‑worn nursery rhyme cabinet. You’ll hear a baby’s lullaby beside a father’s hunting trip, a kitten’s curious tour of London, and a youngster’s comical struggle with multiplication—all rendered in a rhythm that invites humming along. The pieces weave together everyday chores, like sewing with bright “FAST BLACK” thread, and imaginative word games that sparkle with all‑iteration and cheeky rhyme.

The recurring motif of a whimsical cotton spool and a trusty needle adds a charming, almost commercial parody that keeps the tone light and witty. Simple, vivid images of cats, pigs, rocking horses, and bustling kitchens make each stanza feel familiar yet fresh, perfect for listeners who enjoy a gentle stroll through language’s playful possibilities. Whether shared at bedtime or enjoyed on a quiet afternoon, the verses celebrate the joy of ordinary moments turned into musical fun.
