Blurb from goodreads:
What kind of families do animal babies have? All different kinds! Charming text and sweet illustrations introduce a wolf pup cared for by the pack, a young orangutan snuggling with its mother high in a tree, a poison dart frog tadpole riding piggyback on its dad, and more. Featuring rhyming verse and informational text, this book lets you discover just how diverse the animal kingdom really is!
The cover of the book immediately caught my eye and I clicked on the description. It sounded delightful and I knew I wanted to read it. "Meet My Family" was a wonderful introduction to animal families around the world and I learned quite a bit. There's a nice selection of animals from around the globe, and each animal is shown in a clear, bright photograph, labeled by species. There's a brief paragraph about each animal and their family arrangements, including a word or two for mom or dad in the native language of the animal's habitat. The text is short and simple, good for younger children and ones just learning to read. There is a glossary at the back that covers the words used in the different languages, as well as the names of the animals, and a map that shows where the animals live in the wild. Children will enjoy the pictures and the friendly, relatable facts included while absorbing and learning about the animals, different families, languages, and geography. This would be a good addition to a home, classroom, or library.
Thanks, Bea! I'm so glad you enjoyed the book and learned from it. I did, too, as I was writing it :>)
