Some days you just need to look at pictures of baby animals, no matter what age you are. From 0-100 years old, if you're ever feeling blue, Suzi Eszterhas's collection of pictures of baby animals in motion will put a smile on your face, no matter how bad you feel. You can't not love baby animals.
Baby Animals Moving, by Suzi Eszterhas is an informative book that provides a fun way for children to learn about baby animals on the move.
As a part of the Baby Animals series, this book encourages children to learn about animals while working on their reading skills. Within twenty-four pages, there are interesting animal facts intermixed with full-color photographs.
According to a note from the author: "I travel all over the world taking pictures of animals.... I think it's important for kids to connect with animals and nature. You can do this by looking at photos, reading books, or just going outside and running, climbing, and jumping like these baby animals on the move!"
Baby Animals Moving is a children's non-fiction book geared towards preschoolers to second graders, yet a variety of ages will enjoy this delightful book.
Note: I received this book from NetGalley, which is a program designed for bloggers to write book reviews in exchange for books, yet the opinions expressed in this review are my own.
Baby Animals Moving is a delightful children's book embedded with beautiful photographs as well as reference reading. Factual, it would help a young elementary aged child report on facts concerning animals, yet for a . younger child, it would be excellent for language development.
Thank you to #NetGalley and the publisher for a chance to review this book pre-publication in exchange for an honest review.
With beautiful photographs and easy-to-understand text, this book helps children learn more about baby animals and how they move about through the wild. The text tells how, why, and when the animals move, with short blurbs that describe what happens in each picture. It shows a joey being carried in his mother's pouch, an otter pup getting a ride on its mom's tummy, and more. The photographs are stunning! This is a great book for animal lovers.
I read a copy from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
Who doesn't love baby animals? The photographs in Baby Animals Moving by Suzi Eszterhas are beautiful. This collection includes both traditional (think elephant) and atypical (egret) animal babies with their parents. She carefully balances science words (such as pod) with fun words (like piggyback) that will appeal to readers young and old. I think this is a fabulous read and would enjoy having it in my class library. Thanks to #NetGalley for the opportunity to preview #BabyAnimalsMoving - I enjoyed every page.
This book contains wonderful pictures of sweet baby animals in their natural habitats. They are featured with their mothers or extended animal family. With all manner of land and water dwelling creatures, you're almost guaranteed to see your favorite.
The text is pretty straightforward and appropriate for early elementary readers.
A simple introduction to animal babies and their parents.
This book will be a great addition to your little animal lovers library. The book tells you about all sorts of baby animals from elephants to orcas to sloths and how they get around and each animal is accompanied by a beautiful photograph.
The adorable pictures make this one worth it. I would recommend this only for the youngest of readers.
This book shows how many animal babies move, whether alone or with the help of their parents. The illustrations are beautiful photographs taken by Suzi Eszterhas, who is a wildlife photographer and animal activist. All the photos in this book are of animal families in the wild moving from place to place. Not only does the text tell us how they move, by why and when. The text that is included are short anecdotes describing what is happening in the pictures as well as identifying the animals. This is a great read aloud story for young children. A great non-fiction book to add to school and family libraries. A good book for any animal lovers.
I recieved a free digital copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
The pictures are stunning! They're all accompanied with a short description of each animal and their moving habits. Loved this short book!
What is this about?
Baby Animals Moving.. just like the title says!
Was it good?
The photographs in this book are amazing, and the text is short and easy to read. Some of the animals have more exact information and some of the notes for the animals are very generic comments.
I received an ebook version on my Kindle, and the formatting was awful. The larger pictures are split in half making it difficult to see the whole thing no matter how I turn my Kindle. The words don't always line up with the correct animal. Some of the pictures didn't load at all.
Still, I think if the book formatting worked, or if I had a physical copy, this book would be beautiful and the kids would look at the pictures frequently.
