Title: Wild Babies
First published: December 1979
Description: In a cave in the canyon, a bobcat drowses while her three kittens wrestle playfully. High above them a big-eared bat and her tiny batling hang by their toes from the cavern's rocky ceiling.

In the trees and meadows of the canyon other small creatures are also growing and learning the things they must know to stay alive.

Watch as the bear cubs learn to find wild honey and the young squirrels take their first real look at the leafy world of their old oak tree. The deer shows her fawns how to stay hidden in the long grass while predators pass by, and the red-tailed hawk brings a squirrel to her squawking chicks.

From early spring when the bobcats are born, to the first snowfall when the bear cubs begin their long winter sleep, we follow the lives of these young wild creatures in their forest home.
