Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
Both simple and surprising, Heller's sprightly picture books use verse and unusually harmonious pictures to introduce the animal kingdom. Chickens lists some of the many good things that come in egg packages, while Animals mentions all manner of mammals. Ages 4-8.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
From the largest whale to the smallest shrew, Animals Born Alive and Well offers a wealth of information on mammals, and a source of pleasure for any nature lover with a new eye-catching cover!

"Here are twenty double-page spreads all bright with mammals. Large, tiny, prehistoric, unusual--they are all here in repeatable rhymes, and a million dollar word (viviparous) is tossed in for good measure." --The Provident Bookfinder

5.0 out of 5 stars fabulous for Easter basket , September 20, 2004
By Paula (Cordova,TN) - See all my reviews
I bought this last Easter as an alternative to the "bunny stories". My 2 year old picks it out of the bookcase every day. She and my 4 year old love the rhyming text. I love the fact that they can not only say oviparous but thanks to Ruth Heller they understand what it means. The illustrations could stand alone in a picture book. They are fantastic! This book is an absolute must buy.

This book along with the book, Chickens Aren't the Only Ones, help create a great lesson about animals for kindergarten.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well done, Ruth Heller, December 18, 2007
This book was given to my daughter when she was quite young - she is now 28 years old. I have since given it to numerous children and recommend it to parents who are seeking science books for their young children.

Ruth Heller presents an entertaining, fun and memorable look at the categories of animals that give birth to their young. To this day my daughter recites from it.

I highly recommend Animals Born Alive and Well (as well as Chickens Aren't the Only Ones and The Reason for a Flower - both by Ruth Heller). Read them with your children and you are bound to learn (re-learn) a thing or two.
