Endearing rhyming text highlights the developmental milestones babies encounter before their first birthday—crying, smiling, eating, teething, rolling, crawling, walking, and talking. Join the celebration as three babies, encouraged by their families, grow more and more active, culminating in a birthday celebration for all the kids.
