The "Animal Babies" series takes children on a journey through ponds and rivers, polar lands, and grasslands. In this edition, the reader is introduced to animal babies in grasslands. The book features amazing full-color photographs of a elephant, zebra, lion, prairie dog, kangaroo, giraffe and meerkat along with their young in their natural habitat. Each animal baby is introduced with a photograph and text providing a clue unique to this particular animal. The book then attempts to engage the reader by asking, "Who is my mommy?" The answer is provided on the next page, along with a photo of the baby with her mother and text providing an additional fun fact. However, while the pictures are excellent and the animal facts clearly researched well, this particular question can be confusing to a young child. An adult will understand that the format is necessary to teach the different names given to the young of different species, a kangaroo baby is a joey while a zebra baby is an foal, for example. But asking a young reader this question will likely be more puzzling than intriguing.
Animal Babies in Ponds and Rivers focusses on seven water-babies living in this habitat including hippos, otters, beavers, capybaras, ducks, dugongs and swans. With its delightful photographs and lively, engaging text children will love this book.
