Description

Starting with familiar baby animals like puppies and kittens and working through a whole range of species, this book takes a close look at all aspects of the lives of animal babies such as relative size, the number of babies different animals have at once, hatching from eggs, feeding, safety, and more. In the end, readers learn their own place in the animal world--human babies are baby animals too. Throughout the book, new words are introduced--fawn, calf, chick--and a glossary at the end reinforces new words.

LEVEL 1 - BEGINNING TO READ (red)The language at this level will be short and simple sentences, with straightforward vocabulary and punctuation, a high level of phonic regularity and lots of repetition. Includes simple glossary.

Booklist Review

One surefire way to hook kids on nonfiction is with baby animals, and this title in the Kingfisher Readers series features the slithery and scaly as well as the cute and fuzzy. Short, simple sentences and clear, close-up photographs include basic facts on topics ranging from single and multiple births; large (elephant) and small (panda) babies; keeping the baby safe; and egg hatchers. Words for each newly born creature puppy, tadpole, calf are bolded in the text as they appear, and a complete listing may be found in the appended glossary. The main idea Every animal begins life as a baby travels full circle, and the final spread depicts a racially diverse group of diaper-clad tots alongside the words, You did too!--Kelley, Ann Copyright 2010 Booklist
