About This Lesson
A nonfiction book taking a look at different animals and how they care for their young and also a sweet dream bedtime book for human parents and their children.
If you are looking for a terrific snuggle-book and also want to introduce your young one to animals and their offspring, you’ve found it. Here is a love poem uniquely combined with nonfiction that explores how parents-both human and non-human-guide their young ones. The illustrations are gentle, magical, and yet in no way cartoonish-“simple but visually luxurious,” as the illustrator intended. The featured species are squirrel, otter, bear, opossum, deer, duck, bison, wolf, fox, beaver, skunk, mountain goat, bat, and (of course) humans. A comforting, sweet-dream book for nature lovers.
