Dk See How They Grow Chick

A photographic paperback series designed to introduce the fascinating world of animals and how they develop. In this informative and highly visual series, appealing step-by-step photography allows children to see a butterfly emerge from its cocoon and spread its wings, or see what happens when an egg hatches and a chick emerges. Each book comes with a sticker sheet packed with cute images of the animals featured in the book. Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal PreSchool-Grade 3-- The ``Eyewitness'' (Knopf) format is utilized to look at two animal infants. Crisp, clean, full-color photographs on snow-white pages follow the birth and early development (6-8 weeks) of a chick and a rabbit. Informative and effective photos show mothers protecting and feeding their young, conveying the vulnerability of the newborns. The first-person text lets readers know just how and when the simple learning processes unfold. Because of the white backgrounds, the animals are not in their natural settings, and are pristine clean. The last page of each book reviews the photographic record of growth. Watercolor borders soften the artificial tidiness of the page layout. Ronald Fisher's Cottontails (1989) and Jane McCauley's Baby Birds and How They Grow (1983, both National Geographic) are broader in scope with similar photos, but set in nature. --Jacqueline Elsner, Athens Regional Lib . , GA Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
