This sweet book filled with photos of young animals, their families  and rhyming words is sure to delight young readers and introduce them to a variety of wildlife.  The photos are heartwarming and the easy-to-understand  way it is written will make this a nice book to share with your youngest child.

Highly recommended. 

The author takes us around the world, an adventure in rhyme, to visit all the seven continents and discover cute baby animals and their parents engaging in loving and fun activities together. Maps are cleverly included to pin-point the animal's exact locations and the colourful photos show the creature's environments and express the animal's behaviours visually. She educates us further by giving us the proper name of the animal and then the proper name of the baby: deer and fawn, black swan and cygnets, koala bear and joey, penguin and chick, orca and calf, just to name a few. The author concludes that the love the baby animals experience worldwide from their parents proves to us that our world is one big heart.

I love the idea of all the baby animals around the world and the sweet rhymes to go with it. The biggest negative for me was the quality of the images.

REVIEW: CUTE CONTINENT CUDDLE by Besfala Orfaly

What an adorable picture book! The author takes very young readers and the even younger "read to me" on a delightful and heartwarming journey of continents, learning about indigenous animal life. The lovely photos accompany rhyming text. I'll definitely share this book with my grandkids!

Photographs are adorable, but not much in the way of text that is original and interesting.

Cute Continent Cuddle by Besmala Orfaly is a children’s nonfiction picturebook which takes the children on a tour of the seven continents where they will meet and learn from cute baby animals. The animal families are presented to the children with basic rhyming text that entertain and teach a little about each kind of animal.

Cute Continent Cuddle is a very easy read, but one that will quickly engage the youngest animal lovers. I would give this to readers that are just starting to read and are still intimidated by easy readers and picture books on their own, or to share with very young children. The images of the animals and their families are very cute, and the text is simple but informative and charming. I would recommend the book to the preschool and pre to very early reading set and their caregivers.

I kinda object to this being called a book; even with the fact that most of the pages are taken up by photos, it’s still incredibly short, possibly too little to even call a novella. Even when reading it to kids, which is no doubt the audience this was intended for, I suspect it would take no more than ten minutes, as it is nothing more than rhyming couplets—some painfully forced—with photos of baby animals. Of course a kid, the younger the better, wouldn’t care about the words and would simply stare in delight at the cuteness overload, there’s no way I can put myself in that frame of mind for the review, so as an adult I have to say this could have been better, as well as longer.

I'm sorry, but I really didn't like this book. I like the idea behind it, but I didn't find it to be well executed. The rhymes are really awkward. On the bright side, I could see a good class project growing out of this book.
