Super Baby and Ted live in the make-believe town of Cotsville in Western Australia. They keep an eye on all the kids who live there so they stay out of danger. At the same time, Super Baby reminds the ‘big people’ that adult supervision is needed AT ALL TIMES to prevent accidents and injuries so their children are safe and happy.

Stories include safety at home, on the road and when playing near water.   

Super Baby
Super Baby is the hero, the star, the sheriff of Cotsville. Loved by everyone in the town, he helps keep an eye on all the children to make sure they stay safe. This pint sized baby boy, in his blue jumpsuit and with curly blonde hair, is able to fly through the sky like a rocket! With the help of the RATTLE TV, he can tune in to see what is happening in Cotsville. When he needs extra strength, he drinks his MIGHTY MILK from his bottle which he carries in his holster. In the trusty and fast Pram Jet, he is able to get to an emergency within minutes. His motto . . . A SAFE BABY IS A HAPPY BABY.


Ted
This cute little bear with his blue bow-tie is not only the co-pilot of the Pram Jet but also the mechanic and all round ‘handy bear’ and Super Baby would be lost without him. Ted makes sure the Pram Jet is ready-to-go at a moments notice.

  1. Perfect gift Review by The Dragon
    Star rating

    I have purchased these books as gifts for my neighbour's children. They are excellent for small kids as they can relate to the characters & they tell a story about being safe. I have purchased them in New Zealand so hopefully they will sell in other countries as well. Good luck Jennifer. (Posted on 15/05/12)

  3. Excellent childrens books Review by Old Git
    Star rating

    I thought this series of books was an excellent gift for a friend's pre school child. It will teach them about safety in many areas & also how to care for their pets. It was written in such a way that parents can relay the warnings given to small children if they are reading to them. (Posted on 15/02/12)

Jennifer Bates

The year was 1983 when I sat down at the kitchen table in my house in Perth, Western Australia and started writing the Super Baby & Ted series of books. The main characters were Super Baby and his ‘sidekick’ named Ted. They lived in a make-believe town called Cotsville in Western Australia. Their mode of transport was the Pram Jet – an old fashioned pram that they had converted into a fast aeroplane.

They would keep an eye on all the children in Cotsville to make sure they stayed out of danger and were safe from accidents and injuries.

I had written stories for six books and managed to get one book illustrated and published that first book myself but never got to finish the other five in the series. Back then, I was busy raising two young boys – a one year old and a five year old – and I couldn’t find the time or energy to complete the project.

In the years that followed, I was also running a full time business but knew that one day I would finish what I had started and publish the rest of the series. So, Super Baby & Ted and all the kids from Cotsville were put in a box, high up on a shelf in a cupboard just waiting for the day when they would once again ‘come to life.’

Fast forward . . . The year is 2011 and I can hear a lot of shouting and banging coming from that same cupboard where 28 years ago, a baby, a teddy bear, 7 little kids, a dog and a cat were sent packing.

“HEY, CAN SOMEBODY OPEN THE DOOR – THIS BABY SUIT OF MINE IS GETTING PRETTY TIGHT AND IF I DON’T GET OUT OF HERE SOON, THE BUTTONS ARE GOING TO START POPPING!!”

“YEAH, AND DON’T FORGET ABOUT ME. I KNOW A BEAR IS MEANT TO HIBERNATE, BUT FOR 28 YEARS . . . GIVE ME A BREAK!!”

Yes, a lot has happened in 28 years. My two little boys are now BIG boys and I have the time and energy to let Super Baby & Ted start up the engines again on the Pram Jet.

So let’s get this show on the road.

I hope the ‘big people’ take note of the messages in the books that our children are precious and we need to take good care of them so they are kept as safe as possible.

And I hope the ‘little people’ will enjoy looking at the colourful pictures and adorable characters.

Sorry, have to go now . . . the shouting and banging in the cupboard is getting so loud that I’ll have to go and let them loose!
