Book summary
On every one of the brilliantly patterned pages of this book, there is a
mother animal with a baby. Children will love searching for the baby
animal in this spot-and-find book.
Nayu's thoughts
I have read
books by Britta in the past, so like her style and I love most animal
babies, making this a perfect match for me. While the colour tone is
a smidge dimmer than I prefer, I loved hunting out the animals on each
page, after reading the pleasant sounding two verse rhymes. I nearly
had to ask my family to find the sloth baby because it eluded me for
a few minutes, but mostly I found them easily.
The minor grumble is
that seahorses have several babies, not just one, but I understand
why one may be portrayed. One of the cutest babies which made me go
aww isn't a typical cute creature-I happen to love crocodiles, and
find baby crocodiles irresistible! There's something about them being
identical to their parents but oh so small. They are more universally
cute creatures like a baby zebra and giraffe. Younger readers will
probably take more time to find he hiding babies, and all readers will
like the unexpected twist at the end!
