Summary:  26 animal babies and their families are profiled, grouped together by the type of home they have–underground, hidden in the trees, a nest, etc.  Large, realistic watercolors introduce each section, followed by smaller pictures with a paragraph of text about the two or three animals who inhabit that particular type of home.  The book concludes with the statement that animals are safe and sheltered in their homes, just like human children. Includes further information about each animal with a thumbnail sketch, a brief glossary, and a list of books and websites that give more information.  48 pages; grades K-3.

Pros:  Kids will love these adorable baby animal pictures, and there’s plenty of interesting information for them to browse.  The lists of additional resources will allow for further research.

Cons:  All 26 animals are mammals; it would have been interesting to throw in a few fish, reptiles, and birds for comparison.
