Nick asks to be read the same book over and over. He wanted me to read him Farmyard Friends eleven or twelve times last night. So far today it's three times, plus looking at it himself in his playpen.
The text goes:
Quietly, quietly
Not a sound
While kitten sleeps
Upon the ground.
"Quack, quack," cries the duck
As off we trot to play
"Won't we have a wonderful time
On such a sunny day."
Naughty pinky pig
Is being very rude
He should be speaking to the duck
Instead he's eating food.
Lonely little duckling
Asks if he can play
With the cheerful puppies
On such a lovely day.
Little duckling watches
As one cute chicken sleeps
While cheeky sits on Mother's back
And cheeps and cheeps and cheeps.
Of course it's not really the words that Nick likes so much. The illustrations remind me of old-fashioned Golden Books. The price on the front ($5.95 USA) tells me it's pretty new. I think I got it at Goodwill for less than a dollar.
Xander sings songs to Nick whenever he cries. Xander's favorite is "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" but sometimes he makes up his own songs to cheer up Nick.
