Author Description

A follow-on to DK's successful Animal Families, this new book lures its readers into a magical world populated by appealing young creatures. Within its pages, children can see a baby beaver help build a dam, baby chicks learn to scratch for food, baby chipmunks scurry up a tree, and baby walruses bask on an iceberg in the sun. Wherever they live, baby animals do many of the same things that human youngsters do: play, eat, sleep, and find adventure. Including every kind of animal from birds and insects to mammals and reptiles, Animal Babies delivers a huge amount of information in a storybook-like style. The gripping and easily absorbed facts will inspire early readers to find out even more about each creature's life, habits, and habitat.
