"Adorable book! Beautiful illustrations! What a fun way to teach kids about certain animals- by relating them to their moms & dads. Parents are the center of the world to kids. This book really gives them a centered comparison they’d understand. There are lots of facts but they’re laid out in little sections which makes it much less overwhelming. This would be a great intro to a research project or a compare/contrast writing piece on animals life to their life (parents)." - VR (Educator)For animals, mommies and daddies are also very important. And the nine animals you’ll get to know in this book are very caring parents!
