Emily Thomson, author of “All the Baby Animals in the Woods,” has written yet another excellent book for toddlers and very young children about animals, this time entitled “All the Baby Animals in the Wild.” Emily certainly has a knack for writing for young children—and by now even this big kid has become a fan of hers! Her books are adorable and they provide an excellent opportunity for toddlers and young children to learn about animals they may see at the zoo, on television or even on vacation sometime.  In addition, I should add that the illustrations are superlative!This book covers some animals Emily’s other book, “All the Baby Animals in the Woods,” didn’t get to and I highly recommend the two books together as a pair. In this particular book, “All the Baby Animals in the Wild,” Emily Thomson introduces toddlers and children to baby monkeys; young zebras; the young rhinoceros; the giraffe calf; the baby hippopotamus; a tiger cub; the young hyena; the baby elephant; the very young antelope; the lion cub—and ends with the cute rhyme that “these lovely creature/ babies all/will grow so big/but now are small!” I like the use of rhyme in this book and the fact that the animals are baby animals makes it all the more attractive to toddlers and very young children—not to mention grownups, too!This book is also a fine way for adults to bond with a child or children as they read the book together; and that’s grand. The book will also increase the vocabularies of toddlers and young children and that’s even better still! Great job and keep up the good work, Emily Thomson!
