From playing to tumbling to cuddling, this playful nonfiction picture
book pairs rhythmic, rhyming text with adorable photographs as it
explores sibling relationships in the animal kingdom.
Little ones will delight in the similarities lion, turtle, and even bee
siblings have with human brothers and sisters in this charming
read-aloud book. It opens with 10 kinds of animal siblings and segues
naturally into young human brothers and sisters. The children reprise
the animal actions, from leaping and pouncing to splashing and bouncing,
and finally snuggling down to sleep. Interesting facts about each
featured animal are provided for further learning.
Beyond cute, it's the perfect gift for little kids with a new brother or
sister on the way -- and for animal lovers of all ages. An afterword by
noted early child development expert Dr. Tovah P. Klein, called the
"toddler whisperer" by Good Morning America, provides tips to parents
for nurturing sibling harmony.
