Baby Goes to Market
Atinuke, illustrated by Angela Brooksbank
Baby accompanies Mama to a busy market in southwest Nigeria while she shops. Vendors give Baby fruit and snacks, which Baby eats or adds to the basket without Mama noticing. The collection includes bananas, oranges, biscuits, sweet corn, and coconut, and the basket grows heavier as they move through the stalls. The story uses the accumulating treats as part of its counting.
