Babies Don’t Walk, They Ride!

Kathy Henderson, illustrated by Lauren Tobia

This book follows babies and the adults in their lives through a day of movement. Babies are carried, tossed in the air, pushed in strollers, and wheeled through a supermarket in carts; they also glide, stroll, and roll. Rhyming text accompanies detailed mixed-media scenes set in a multicultural city neighborhood. A range of babies and families appears as the day’s energy gradually gives way to a quiet ending in the dark.
