On the heels of our board book debut with Schim Schimmel's The Family of Earth and Children of the Earth Remember, come four new titles for babies and toddlers. Photographic board books featuring adorable baby animals in different habitats are perfect for little ones, with accessible language and concepts. The board format and square trim are easy for toddlers to handle, and the subject matter of animal babies with their moms and other caretakers provide reassuring and comforting images.The educational component of these books makes them not only cuddle-fun reads, but also a fascinating first introduction to wildlife. Each book features ten different animals: Desert Babies includes coyote, bobcats, and javelinas; Prairie Babies includes bison, prairie dogs, and foxes; Forest Babies includes white-tailed deer, river otters, and raccoons; and Polar Babies includes polar bears, penguins, and seals. NorthWord's trusted name among teachers, librarians, and parents has paved the way for this new line of lush nature books for the very young.
