Story Synopsis
“Baby Bunting” is a classic nursery rhyme that feels like a quiet snapshot of home. Father goes hunting, mother goes milking, sister goes silking, and brother goes to buy a skin—so the baby can be wrapped up warm. The lines are simple and the rhythm is soft. Because it’s so short, it works beautifully as a final bedtime verse. You can read it slowly, almost like a lullaby, and then echo the last idea in your own words: “Now we wrap you up safe and cozy.”
