Little Baby Buttercup Summary

Little Baby Buttercup by Linda Ashman

This lovely read-aloud celebrates the delight to be found in the world of a toddler. Every day brings new milestones and new wonderment - and little baby Buttercup is eager to reach out and experience it all, while her mother is always eager to reach out with a hug. Linda Ashman's rhyming text captures a mother and baby's joy in their shared time, and You Byun's rich pastel hues and charming details make all the moments-both quiet and boisterous-shine. Together they have created a beautiful book that celebrates the magic of those fleeting days of early childhood.
