0 an attractive young child, especially a girl:
a curly-haired moppet
If one child is missed, if a single little moppet is left feeling unloved, then what's the point of delivering toys to all the others?
That lovable moppet with the red dress, the curly hair, the big dog, and the even bigger voice is back.
Why, she'd been a moppet ten years ago!
The little moppet stole into my heart, and by just raising her eyes inveigled me into fighting for her.
