Photographs and text describe some of the young animals that are found in the frigid Arctic regions, including moose, foxes, walrus, porcupines, reindeer, and whales.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
K-Gr 3--Two appealing introductions to distinctive regions of the world. Each double-page spread presents information about an animal baby, designates the area in which it lives, and includes vital facts such as birth weight, food, and natural enemies. The text is written in clear and simple language. End notes explain the different types of arctic habitats and the layers of tropical rain forests. The books' main selling point, however, is the engaging full-color photographs that provide a close-up look at each animal. Collections could benefit from both titles, although Arctic Babies covers an environment that is not frequently encountered in children's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great for young children who love animals,
This review is from: Arctic Babies (Books for Young Readers) (Paperback)
All the books in this series are beautiful. The photography is superb and there are just enough facts to be interesting, not so many that children are overwhelmed with information. My daughter absolutely loved these books as a young child. I highly recommend them.
