Mackenzie Hansler tells readers that her purpose is to instruct and inspire and she accomplishes this mission splendidly. She tells lots of information about ten different animals. Her pictures of the animals are interesting; they are different than what we are accustomed to seeing.We learn many things from her book. For example, a baby crocodile is called a hatchling. Hatchlings have an egg tooth to rip open their eggs when they are hatching, but mom is there to help when they fail. The mother crocodile carries her hatchlings to the water in her jaws.Other of many examples are: Mother deers leave their babies, called fawns, alone for long periods of time. Newborn puppies sleep 22 hours a day and eat during the remaining 2 hours. Newborn puppies can’t see or hear for nine to twelve days after they are born. Horses become calmer when donkeys are present. Duckling feathers are not waterproof for ten days after birth.The book contains a fun quiz of five questions at the end of the book. Children will learn much from this fun book and enjoy doing so.
