The Cheeky Toddler Alphabet

An A-to-Z celebration of the chaos and tenderness of the toddler years - that bittersweet window of domestic life when each day is a magical bunfight that you wouldn't trade for anything . . . or would you? From bestselling and award-winning author Davina Bell and critically acclaimed illustrator Jennifer Falkner.

A is for aeroplane, all-gone and ant

And the apple you bit and then dropped in a plant

B is for bubbles and bee-buzz in blossoms

For bruises and bottles and bare bathtime bottoms

A tender and funny journey through the toddler years, that never-ending but also gone-in-a-flash time when both love and mayhem reign supreme.
