Determined to make him (her) smile, rotund, bespectacled Auntie signs, cavorts, grimaces, and bestows ice-cream, toys, tickles and kisses on the long-suffering infant. I'll go away and never come back!' she says finally, which of course does the trick, and she leaves behind a blissfully happy baby. And there should, be lots more smiling faces, judging by the reactions of my infants to this hilarious very easy-to-read picture book.
