About this book

Do animals have mothers, too? Of course they do -- just like me and you! Once again, Eric Carle reassures and delights children in this colorful album of animal mothers and their babies. Beautifully rendered family portraits of familiar and beloved animals are accompanied by playful text in question-and-answer form inviting children and adults to read aloud together. Come meet the little joey whose kangaroo mother, the flyer, carries him in her pouch. See the lamb nuzzle its mother, the ewe. But don't worry -- we haven't forgotten about the fathers or the rest of their families. Children will love learning the names of animal babies and their mothers, and a bonus page at the back will encourage them to discover more about the natural world. A beautiful way for families to share the knowledge that love crosses all boundaries and ties all creatures on this earth together.
