Rosie's Babies - Martin Waddell|Penny Dale

A miniature gift edition by the 1990 Best Books for Babies Award Winner. Rosie is a talkative and highly imaginative four-year-old and she is trying to help her mother with the new baby. But Rosie has two babies of her own (or so she says), and they too are very demanding. Apparently they live in a bird's nest, they go out in the garden all by themselves and sometimes they make Rosie cross. They also drive cars and lorries and dumpers and boats; they like swings and rockets and dinosaurs; they don't like custard and they eat apples all the time. To look at they seem remarkably like two cute toy animals: a rabbit and a bear!;Martin Waddell also writes under the pseudonym Catherine Sefton.
