Join baby and his mother as they weave through a bustling marketplace in this picture book by acclaimed Nigerian storyteller Atinuke.
Along the way, the cute baby gets free food from stallholders – six bananas, five oranges – each time eating one and putting the rest in his mother’s basket, without her noticing. By the end, mother’s basket is surprisingly heavy and she thinks her baby must be hungry by now!
