Customer Reviews

Two for the price of one

Using a flip-me-over format, Aston has created a fascinating mix of factual information and comforting bedtime story. Told first from the perspective of mama and then half-way through from the papa's point of view, this book explores the roles each play in rearing wild animals. A great addition to any primary library collection, this book will serve a dual purpose: facts about animal behavior and a lyrical tale for story time.
