ANIMAL BABIES ON THE MOVE
Animal parents carry their young in many different ways. Some tote babies on their backs. Others dangle them from their mouths or prop them on their shoulders.

In straightforward language and bright, colorful pictures, author-illustrator Susan Stockdale shows young children how animals around the world transport their young.
From kangaroos carrying babies in pouches in the Australian outback to penguin babies perched on their parents' feet in the frozen Antarctic, Stockdale places each animal family in its natural habitat. The story ends on a reassuring note with a human baby snuggled in her mother's arms.

Reviews
"A beautifully sweet look at how babies are carried, from insects and birds, to mammals and fish, and ultimately to how your own mother carried you... The illustrations are perfect for young readers. Featuring simple lines and vibrant colors, they complement the text by focusing on the interaction between the parent and child. Sure to become a calm and soothing bedtime favorite." Kirkus Reviews "The facts of zoology are both exciting and cuddly in this science picture book with clear, bright acrylic illustrations... A bibliography will lead to more fun reading about animals. The focus on movement as well as the physical immediacy in words and pictures make this a good choice to introduce science to the very young." Booklist “This is an ideal book for very young scientists to begin to explore adaptations, habitats, and life cycles. The minimal, vocabulary-building text accompanies double-page illustrations that skillfully employ color and strong design to illustrate the diversity of animal adaptations.”NSTA Recommends
