Who can resist baby animals?
Comments: Baby animals have a natural appeal to almost all children (and to many adults, too). Seymour Simon’s “Wild Babies” is a great book for those interested in this topic. Directed towards younger readers, this book covers animal babies of many different species and geographic regions: kangaroos, emperor penguins, dolphins, alligators, giraffes, and more. Each of the 13 species profiles consists of a two-page spread: a full-color, full page photograph on1page, with a simply written however informative text on the facing page. The book is full of memorable images: an elephant matriarch guarding her herd’s babies, a polar bear cub and mother ambling across the arctic landscape, a baboon family engaged in a relaxing grooming session, and more. This is an outstanding book for the family library.
