Babies, whether in snowy dens, warm lagoons, cozy nests, or living
rooms, are nurtured and nuzzled, carried and cuddled. This lyrical book
explores the many aspects of childcare in the animal kingdom. Stunning
paintings celebrate tender moments between mother and child. In the back
of the book, discussion guides, animal vocabulary, and information about
a child's first food encourage children to learn more about these 18
animals. The book introduces early science concepts, such as habitats,
by asking kids to compare their neighborhood to the jungle, ocean, or
arctic. An extensive Teacher's Guide, available for free download in
English and Spanish, enhances the book's content, increasing learning
opportunities.
