"Every being that is born of hatched from an egg has a mother .... every one!"This delightfully illustrated and well written book is sure to delight all the young at heart. So what 'baby' pictures will you see?Birds * Ducklings * Squirrels * Goats * Turtles * Llamas * Kittens * Puppies * Lambs * Chicks * Calves * Cubs * Elephants * Hippos * Rhinos * Giraffes * Fish * Frogs * SpidersMothers with tails: Lions * Monkeys * Whales * Walruses * Penguins * Snakes and LizardsMothers with spots: Leopards * LadybugsWhat about human mothers? This author has very thoughtfully added in birthmothers and adoptive mothers to the list of stepmothers, foster mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers so not matter where your child has come from or the situation he/she finds himself in now, he/she will be able to identify with this book.What do mothers do? Probably a good thing to remind your child once in a while!Please note that not all the "babies" are given their right name. At the beginning of the book the author uses the words, baby ducks, goats etc. This is actually a great opportunity for you to ask your child if they know what a baby goat etc is called. A good teaching/learning moment :) Other places, as you can see from the list provided, the "baby" word is used - kittens, cubs etc.A surprising number of pages in this book! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED from our house to yours!
