Foreword

Dear Parents:--Don't imagine, please, It's in a boastful spirit I fashion verses such as these; That's not the truth or near it.

A hundred or a thousand, yes, A million kids there may be Who aren't one iota less Attractive than this baby.

I'll venture that your household has As valuable a treasure As mine, but mine I know, and as For yours, I've not that pleasure.

And that is why my book's about Just one, O Dads and Mothers; But babes are babes, and mine, no doubt, Is very much like others.
