This delightful board book depicts a baby undertaking the everyday activities of going to the toilet, eating, having a bath and sleeping. Oxenbury's warm and simple watercolours humorously capture the serious intent of a baby focused on its daily labours. First published in 1981 the text-less series was considered an innovative break with the established board book format and has become a much loved classic for small children and parents alike.
