Ashman's clever rhymes explain how tykes of many species travel ("Rolling by in baby strollers / Holding tight to Mother's shoulders / Grabbing on to clumps of hair / Riding bareback through the air"...more

Goes through a wide variety of animals and how their mothers transport them from place to place.
I loved this and Gavin actually sat still in my lap and paid attention to the whole thing, which is rare in these early walking days....
I wasn't sure he'd like drawings of animals as much as his books with more colorful photographs, but they did hold his attention. The fact that the text is rhyming also makes it fun to read out loud. The last page has thumbnail drawings of all the ...more

Now that Sean and Harriet have a baby cousin they have gotten a little obsessed with babies. I checked out Babies on the Go by Linda Ashman to read to my daughter. It's a picture book about different kinds of animal babies and how the get around.
Each pair of pages shows a different baby animal and a parent. Some babies are learning to walk. Some are riding on the parent's back. Some are carried in the mouth. Some float on the parent's belly and so forth.

Goes through a slew of animal babies and their parents, showing the different ways they travel and play together. A helpful "Meet the Babies" guide in the back which tells you what each animal is more specifically (for grown-ups who might not even know themselves!). I know some toddlers who would adore this book--and be able to identify EVERY animal.
Very well done. The illustrations are pretty, and the book is all about different ways that babies are carried around by their parents. It was interesting and I think adults and children alike will enjoy flipping through the pages. I didn't realize how some animals carry their babies around.
We loved this one -- all the more so as Senna likes us to "wear" her in a cuddle wrap or a sling. It was wonderful to introduce her to the many different ways that animals carry their young, on their bellies, in their mouths, and on their backs. A parental hit.
This book is a short easy read. I would read this book to Pre-K or Kindergarten students when doing a lesson on animals or if one of the students' parents are expecting a baby.
My 19 month old daughter wasn't really into this. I however like the diversity of animals and the educational aspect.
A good pick for very young animal lovers. Text is minimal, illustrations are simple and uncluttered.
One of my absolute favorite toddler books.

This makes a lovely sing along.
I love the various pictures of animals with their offsprings. I feel it is a great and subtle way to demonstrate the world to kids. With each animal a parent can point out which country the animal originated from.
This was a really cute book. Good pictures, simpler sentences. Madie read it on her own.
Kate loves the rhyme of the text and looking at all of the different animals
I love this book. Great for babies and toddlers. Also in a board book.
