Just a Darling Book About Animal Mothers

Once again I am writing a short bit about a Bradley Trevor Greive book. All of his little books with there superb photos of animals in very human situations are worth owning. They will all give you a million laughs. But I especially like this one, as it shows the trials and tribulations of mothers of all ages. Don't get me wrong, fathers will find laughs here too. I particularly like the photo of the timber wolf with her paw around her cub's shoulder. The baboon drinking bottled water is adorable too. Heck, who am I kidding, all the photos, each and every one, are adorable. I just love Mr. Grieve's books and if you have a funny bone anywhere in your body, or a tender one, you will too.

Obviously Put Together with Great Care

My gal Sara is a photographer as is her younger sister who is expecting, so we picked up this book of incredible black & white photographs of Animals, many of them with their mothers. The first page is a gorgeous shot of a baby Polar Bear, the second a kitten who looks like she's trying to lift a barbell. There are terrific shot of puppies, monkeys, giraffes and elephants. More shots of frogs, rhinos, hippos and kangaroos. Lots more to appreciate in this little book that was obviously put together with great care. Perfect for the expectant mother, perfect for her to share with her child later on too.

Simply great!

Thought this little book was hilarious! We all have THOSE days.

candid and true

the "foul" language mentioned in other reviews consists of 2 or 3 "..."s, nothing vulgar.there is a picture of 2 animals having .... but it more looks like the male bear is giving mom a backrub with a caption about parents being walked in on during "intimate moments". this book tends to highlight the *wonderful* points of parenthood. i have a 2 year old and i was able to relate to most of the book. i think it is a wonderful book that looks at the not-so-pretty truths of parent/motherhood. it is a great laugh and would make a great gift for any parent or parent-to-be.

makes your heart happy

Such fabulous photographs I am on line buying 4 copies for gifts. The cover caught my eye at the grocery store and I purchased the book. Got home and read it, too cute, had to have more. Now I am on the computer ordering and sending them to friends and famliy in the States. A perfect gift.
