Customer Reviews

Wonderful children's book!

I highly recommend this children's book- great introduction to mammals for little kids, with beautiful illustrations.

great for lessons

This book along with the book, Chickens Aren't the Only Ones, help create a great lesson about animals for kindergarten.

Well done, Ruth Heller

This book was given to my daughter when she was quite young - she is now 28 years old. I have since given it to numerous children and recommend it to parents who are seeking science books for their young children. Ruth Heller presents an entertaining, fun and memorable look at the categories of animals that give birth to their young. To this day my daughter recites from it. I highly recommend Animals Born Alive and Well (as well as Chickens Aren't the Only Ones and The Reason for a Flower - both by Ruth Heller). Read them with your children and you are bound to learn (re-learn) a thing or two.

fabulous for Easter basket

I bought this last Easter as an alternative to the "bunny stories". My 2 year old picks it out of the bookcase every day. She and my 4 year old love the rhyming text. I love the fact that they can not only say oviparous but thanks to Ruth Heller they understand what it means. The illustrations could stand alone in a picture book. They are fantastic! This book is an absolute must buy.
