BUYING ADVISORY: Pre K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Raise the bat's wing and see that she has 1 baby that holds tight and flies with her, "Who has more babies than that?" the text asks? Each consecutive page shows an animal with more babies than the last, telling something about the babies, what they are called and what they do - lambs bleat, leopard cubs pounce, baby mice nibble and gnaw. All the way to a surprise at the end, with more babies than just on the last page.
The babies are carefully hidden behind "lift the flaps" that also represent the environment. (The mice are under leaves, the rabbits are in the snow). The format is predicable, perfect to keep the child engaged. The illustrations are realistic, making counting the babies so fun. I know this will be a bedtime favorite.
