A book I had previously read before so was glad that I could get another copy of it.
Although not a definitive guide to wild animal families, this book tackles some of the animal families that can be found in mammals and as such explains what makes mammals well mammals. From there the book is broken down into various chapters in which the reader is introduced to the gestation as well as the birthing of some babies. From there we get to learn about various mealtimes, first homes, keeping babies safe, danger and lessons to learn before the book ends with the phase of having graduated to being adults. Each section tackles various animals but keeps to the same basic stories for the most part so you get in those cases a rounded idea of what it is like to be those animal babies.
The book is covered with gorgeous and detailed illustrations that are basically sienna-colored. These illustrations capture some of these parental moments where we can see them for ourselves.
I would highly recommend this book for higher elementary children who enjoy animals and want to get to know more. The information is provided in easy-to-understand and simple terms that will make even this text-heavy book a true treasure for science classes.
