NEWBORNS ARE IRRESISTIBLE

Newborn animals are irresistible, and the same can be said for Wild Babies, a captivating photo essay by science writer Seymour Simon. Youngsters meet infant creatures in their native habitats - a week old giraffe, all 150 wobbly pounds of him; downy feathered penguin chicks; dolphin calves cavorting in the sea as circling adult females protect them.

Who can resist baby animals?

Baby animals have a natural appeal to most children (and to many adults, too). Seymour Simon's "Wild Babies" is a good book for those interested in this topic. Directed towards younger readers, this book covers animal babies of many different species and geographic regions: kangaroos, emperor penguins, dolphins, alligators, giraffes, and more.Each of the 13 species profiles consists of a two-page spread: a full-color, full page photograph on one page, with a simply written but informative text on the facing page. The book is full of memorable images: an elephant matriarch guarding her herd's babies, a polar bear cub and mother ambling across the arctic landscape, a baboon family engaged in a relaxing grooming session, and more. This is an outstanding book for the family library.
