Books with title This Little Baby

The little lamb is joined by pigs, horses, hens, cows, and ducks in this Mini Movers book. Mini Movers are chunky miniature board books, perfect in size to fit toddlers' tiny hands. Each cleverly designed two-page spread has a delightful sliding feature that is part of the illustration. Kids move it up or down to change a picture into something new. For example, a pink little pig on the left-hand page comes with the words, "This pig is clean." The facing page shows a wooden pigpen and has the caption, "This pig is. . ." When kids slide the pigpen wall up, they discover the pig romping in the mud, accompanied by the word, "dirty." Toddlers will love sliding the pieces back and forth and seeing how different animals act. Simple words, actions, and pictures make these titles fine interactive first books for baby. (Ages 1-4)

I wanted to curl up against Girl's strange smelling softness and fall fast asleep while enjoying the luxury of being caressed. from This Little Pig From that time on Hiram and his brother Hawkins spent their growing up times vying for first place in the pig family. Hawkins was bigger so Hiram felt that he had to be better. Both mischievous pigs found that their disobedience brought them more trouble than they could handle. Hiram was chosen for the "project." But both pigs learned how important it was to be the best pig that they could be.
