How Animal Babies Stay Safe by Mary Ann Fraser

How Animal Babies Stay Safe by Mary Ann Fraser

Read and find out about how animal parents keep their babies safe from predators in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

This is a clear and appealing science book for early elementary age kids, both at home and in the classroom. It looks at the many strategies animal babies use to survive in a dangerous world. Some babies hide in nests or dens, some ride on thier parents' back or in their pouches, some use camouflage, and some rely on their parents' sharp claws and teeth to fend off enemies.

Whether showing "a mother monkey swinging through the jungle with her baby on her back or two baby raccoons peeking out of their tree-house home while their mother lures a bobcat away from her young," wrote Kirkus, this book captures the eternal appeal of baby animals.
