The Best Book About Animals (for young children) that I Have Found

I am constantly looking for photograph books of animals for my toddler and this is the best one I've encountered. I like the large format pages, the multiple images per page, the repetition of certain animals (kittens, chickens, monkeys, owls make several appearances), and the more unusual choices (scorpions and tadpoles). Now my 18 month-old daughter just enjoys pointing to the animal as I name it, but when she grows older, I think she'll enjoy the text of the book too. She has enjoyed it much more than the overly simplistic animal baby board books.

A world of baby animals

"The Big Book of Baby Animals" brings together an impressive collection of full-color photographs of the title subject. The publishers have wisely chosen to make this a truly inclusive photographic essay; we thus get pictures of animals some might consider creepy along with the more stereotypically "cute" baby animals.The book is full of marvelous images: a baby kangaroo peeking out of its mother's pouch, kittens nursing, baby turtles hatching, ghostly white baby scorpions riding the back of their mother, a baby orangutan sheltered in its mother's arms, and more. Other animal babies pictured include piglets, tadpoles, a ladybug larva, a baby white tiger, king penguin chicks, a young caiman, and many, many more. This is a visually impressive book for home, classroom and library.
