A father cradles his baby daughter in his arms and begins to sing and dance around the room, hoping to distract her from crying whilst her mother is napping on the sofa. He twirls the child, lifts her high in the air then swoops low, all the time singing the words to the action song he is performing. His daughter is soon entranced by this game, her tears forgotten. The simple rhyming text is enhanced by illustrations that well capture their joyful interaction and energetic play.
