My First Book of Baby Animals (National Wildlife Federation)

August 1, 2014
Preschool In bright photos, these baby animals are captured in their native habitats. The name of each species is given, along with the appropriate name for the young of the speciesswan cygnet, kangaroo joey, gorilla infant. (The more familiar bunny is used for the young rabbit rather than kitten.) Captivating photographs depict many of the young animals being cared for by a parent: a penguin chick begs for a hug; an eaglet rubs noses with its bald-eagle parent. Especially charming is the photograph of the elephant calf helping its mom move a branch. This sturdy board book will make a sweet introduction of babies to Baby.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
