Celebrate the bond between parent and child in the animal kingdom! This
beloved book is now bilingual in English and Bengali. Babies--whether in
snowy dens, warm lagoons, cozy nests, or living rooms--are carried and
cuddled, nurtured and nuzzled. Stunning images and gentle verse will
capture the curiosity of even the youngest readers as they see how
animal mothers tend to their cubs, pups, calves, and chicks. Beautiful
images introduce the reader to attachment in the natural world. Watching
mothers lend a paw, wing, flipper, or hand to care for their young
fosters empathy, kindness, and compassion. Supplemental back matter and
a free Teacher's Guide helps parents, librarians, educators, and
healthcare providers creatively describe caretaking, while introducing a
range of early science concepts.
