Kingfisher Readers L1: Baby Animals (Kingfisher Readers. Level 1)
One surefire way to hook kids on nonfiction is with baby animals, and this title in the Kingfisher Readers series features the slithery and scaly as well as the cute and fuzzy. Short, simple sentences and clear, close-up photographs include basic facts on topics ranging from single and multiple births; large (elephant) and small (panda) babies; keeping the baby safe; and egg hatchers. Words for each newly born creature—puppy, tadpole, calf—are bolded in the text as they appear, and a complete listing may be found in the appended glossary. The main idea—Every animal begins life as a baby—travels full circle, and the final spread depicts a racially diverse group of diaper-clad tots alongside the words, You did too! Grades K-3. --Ann Kelley--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
