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
“Science is combined with warming images of parental love to create a lovely picture book that adults will enjoy sharing with the children in their lives.” ―Through the Looking Glass
