A 'baby' is a very young child, usually from birth to one year old.
You pronounce 'baby' like this: bay-bee.
The word 'baby' comes from the Middle English word 'babie', which means a small child.
The word 'baby' in Hindi is 'बच्चा' (Bacchā).
The word 'baby' in Kannada is 'ಮಗು' (Magu).
Just like the tiny caterpillar in Eric Carle's stories, babies are small and full of wonder. They giggle, coo, and wiggle, bringing joy to everyone around them.
Just like the bright colors in Eric's books, babies come in all shapes and sizes, each one special in their own way. They love to explore the world, just like you!
Maybe you can draw a picture of a baby animal or even pretend to be a baby caterpillar munching on leaves. What fun adventures await!
