The Wriggly, Wriggly Baby

This story of a wriggly, wriggly baby is one that any mother of a wiggly, busy baby can identify with. In this cute and fast-paced picture book, the author, Jessica Clerk, leads us on a day-long adventure with a baby who just won't sit still; not for kisses, not for cuddles and certainly not for grandma! Throughout the hilarious rhyme, baby checks out the zoo, stops for lunch, and even waltzes with the wales! But when the stars come out and baby finds himself all alone, he wants to go back to that wonderful safe place. . . home. A must have for every family with a baby. Whether it is a wiggly one or not.

An all around catch

Children between two and five years old will love the get-up-and-go of the wriggly baby character, particularly if they have a younger cousin or sibling. Kids get a kick out of imagining a squirming baby wriggling right out of dad's arms, ducking out of grandma's way, staying just out of mom's reach and toddling along to all the local hotspots (the firehouse, zoo, diner, fairground and beach). They also love the action words used in the text (skedaddle, bobble, slither and shimmy). Though the wriggly baby tires out in the end, my son and daughter rarely tire of hearing this lively and sweet story around bedtime.

Just Plain Fun

This "wriggly" baby crawls, flips and laughs his way on a cleverly crafted journey. With vibrant colors and beautiful, rhythmic prose, children and adults alike will want to 'clap their hands and tap their feet'! The energy alone makes this book a pleasure to read and a must buy for the home library or a fun gift.

lively, plus

It's a good thing the writing in this book is so exceptional, because kids will ask that it be read to them over and over and over yet again. All of you parents out there know how that can be. Wriggly Wriggly Baby is a pleasure EVERY time. There's lots to look at in the pictures, too.

wonderful drawings for a cute story

It's the drawings that make this book. There's one scene of the wriggly wriggly baby yodeling with a yak on a mountain top. I think I'll remember that image always. The book is for kids but these drawings are little works of art.
