Description

If there’s one topic that forever fascinates children, it’s animals. And that’s exactly what this exciting Lift the Flap and Learn book by award-winning author Pascale Hédelin is all about. But these aren’t just any animals — they’re baby animals. And that makes this book all the more appealing to young children; they’ll be able to explore all the similarities and differences between young elephants, dolphins, birds, bears, penguins — and themselves! Animal Babies is full of interactive tabs, flaps, and touch-and-feel elements to keep even beginning readers focused. Shake the page to find out how many sea turtle eggs are buried in the sand, pull the tab to help a mother giraffe give birth to her calf, lift the flap to see all the different things a bear cub eats, or touch the snake’s skin to feel how soft and smooth it is! Age-appropriate bites of text accompany each full-color illustration, so kids are learning neat facts about how animal babies are born, how they fit into their families, what they eat, and more, on each page. A bonus 3' x 4'6" pullout poster of baby animals of the African savanna is included with each book — kids will literally be able to see how they measure up against a baby elephant, giraffe, chimpanzee, tortoise, and lion!

Editorial Reviews

Virtually every pair of facing pages has something that calls upon the reader to lift a flap, pull a tab, shake the page or touch or push something...a fine home purchase.

CM Magazine: Canadian Review of Materials

Both the text and cartoon-style illustrations are accessible, and the interactive elements — including a massive poster/growth chart — are entertaining.
