oms everywhere
know there is
nothing so
sweet as holding
a new babe close to your heart
and hearing him (or her) coo,
much like a little bird.
No wonder, then, that so
many lullabies, nursery rhymes
and baby games feature the
names of birds, and other ani-
mals. Often, you'll find the
name of the animal repeated,
almost forming its own gentle
rhythm.
Perhaps it's not just coinci-
dence. Though such lyrics of-
ten are hundreds of years old,
psychologists have discovered
that young children benefit
from repetition (which may
help explain why they'll
watch the same episode after
episode after episode of "Bar-
ney"). It gives them a sense of
security, no doubt a comfort to
little ones whose world is oth-
erwise so constantly new, de-
veloping, and, inevitably,
confusing.
At your library or favorite
bookstore you'll find a number
of books about lullabies. Here
are some that mention babies'
favorite animal friends:

New parents also enjoy reciting
nursery rhymes to their little
dear ones, and here, too, you'll
find many charming poems
and tales mentioning animals.
There are plenty from Mother
