From the introduction:
 
Parents, grandparents, and siblings all over the world and through many generations have used songs, rhymes and fingerplays to interact and play with babies.  You’ll be in good company as you play Teddybear, Teddybear  or sing a lullaby to interact with your little one.  The early years set the tone for your child’s emotional and intellectual growth and pass quickly.  Take time to play and enjoy your baby.  ...
 
These games and fingerplays are not just for babies.  You’ll find that as your baby grows older, he or she will continue to enjoy the rhymes and songs.
                Enjoy!

Trot! Trot! Trot! 

 Trot! Trot! Trot! Go and never stop
Trot along my little pony
      Where it's rough and where it's stony
Go and never stop, trot, trot, trot, trot!

Trot! Trot! Trot! Go and never stop
I’ll give you some hay that's yummy
It will taste good in your tummy
Little pony mine, trot along so fine.

A lap game.  Put your little one on your knee and move your leg up and down in time to the rhythm.

Jump Jim Joe
Jump, jump, jump Jim Joe
You do a little twirl and away we go
Slide, slide, and step just so
Then you bow to your partner
And you jump Jim Joe
Listen to Jump Jim Joe
