Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1-4. Simon spotlights 13 animal babies from a few different continents and both poles. While the focus is on mammals, a bird, a reptile, and an amphibian are included. The full-color photographs are striking and generous, and most often portray the youngster with its mother. The accompanying page of information is written in a simple but lively manner to pique the interest of young readers. The book has a logical flow as animals from similar environments follow one another, and both the text and the photographs provide some glimpses of the diverse habitats in which these creatures live. This is a beautiful browsing book, but it does not include maps, a glossary, or even all the basic facts about each animal. Bruce McMillan's The Baby Zoo (Scholastic, 1992) covers similar ground, but the subjects were photographed in a zoo, not in the wild.?Susan Oliver, Tampa-Hillsborough Public Library System, FL

From Booklist
Ages 6^-8. Simon approaches the general topic of baby animals by focusing on specifics, introducing various little ones from birth until they are grown and/or ready to leave their families: the young kangaroo, opossum, raccoon, polar bear, emperor penguin, giraffe, elephant, baboon, dolphin, frog, alligator, and lynx. He describes the physical characteristics, growth, and care of each youngster in a few paragraphs of cogent text facing a full-page, full-color photograph of parent and offspring. Similar in format to the author's books on sharks, wolves, and whales, this volume combines appealing photos with intriguing details of animal life. Carolyn Phelan --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
