Adorable Scoundrels: A Treasury of Toddler Poems

Adorable Scoundrels: Now they’re a book You’ll recognize your own toddlers (past or present) in the charming illustrations of Susan Robinson—who has two 3-year-olds of her own—and in the truth-telling verses of author, poet, and playwright Howard Eisenberg who met them first as toddlers of his own and of his much beloved late wife Arlene, who co-wrote the parenting bible, What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Arlene—and the hundreds of toddlers he met with her—became Howard’s inspiration for a treasury of charming Adorable Scoundrel poems that “make you smile when you feel like crying.” After hearing them at Arlene’s lectures parents would ask, “Where can I get the book?” There was no book then, but there is now.
