PreS-Gr 1–In the “Mamas & Babies” series that includes Lake, Mountain, and Prairie, this one gives toddlers through early elementary children a true life, full-color photographic glimpse of parents and offspring in nine species. Tekeila’s pictures are expressively intended to draw onlookers in, with abundant natural settings—the gray wolf pup seems to have stepped out of dirt den and into the field of wildflowers. Fox, porcupine (and its porcupette!), white-tailed deer, northern raccoon, cougar and cub, gray squirrel, opossum and joey, black bear, and moose make an appearance, with bright borders amping up the design.
VERDICT Toddler’s first National Geographic! This is a no-nonsense guide to the wild, accessible and engaging.
