Peter Opie

Describes how babies look and act and how they change as they grow. Kids get a great introduction to human growth and development as they observe a baby's antics through the eyes of an older sister. Young readers discover that a newborn sees only in black and white and can taste sweet, bitter, and sour, but naturally prefers sweet. They see how a baby likes to imitate and can even learn from playing peek-a-boo. And readers also find out just when a baby will be ready to do other things. Descubre como bebés miran, actuan y como cambian al crecer.

This final volume of the Opies' acclaimed trilogy deals with children's games that use equipment - such as marbles, skipping, fivestones, and ball-bouncing. They describe rules of play, the history of the game, and accompanying rhymes and chants.

"In the present study we are concerned solely with the games that children, aged about 6-12, play of their own accord when out of doors, and usually out of sight. We do not include, except incidentally, party games, scout games, team games, or any sport that requires supervision; and we concentrate for the most part on the rough-and-tumble games which, though they may require energy and sometimes fortitude, do not need even the elementary equipment of bat and ball."--Preface.
