Lets Read And Find Out Science How Animal Babies Stay Safe S 1

A baby scorpion rides on its mother_s back. A baby alligator hides in its mother_s mouth! What about a baby leopard? A baby elephant? Read and find out how animal babies stay safe. Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal PreSchool-K-The briefest descriptions of how a variety of baby animals survive various dangers and predators introduce the concepts of supervision, camouflage, feeding, cleaning, and homes. Though offspring requiring no adult protection are briefly mentioned, the book focuses on how parents struggle to protect and defend their young. There is no depth to any of the information, making the book of interest only to young children with a low attention span and no knowledge of the subject. The watercolors aptly illustrate a text that emphasizes how defenseless the little ones are. Nancy Call, Santa Cruz Public Libraries, Aptos, CA Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist Ages 4-6. From the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series, this volume shows how animal babies are protected. The range of behavior is broad and intriguing--from reptiles hatched from eggs and surviving by following their instincts to mammals creating sophisticated homes and using their wiles for the protection of their young. Fraser's writing is direct, and her observations are clearly expressed. Typically, one, two, or three pictures appear on a double-page spread, showing different animals in pleasing, colorful illustrations. The final pages offer a few facts about certain baby animals and tips on what to do if a wild animal baby is found. Another solid entry in this long-running series.
