Books in Acorn: Animal Babies series

This fabulous new series introduces children by habitat to a variety of adorable animal babies. Each baby is introduced on one spread and on the next we find out who is its mother or father. In this way, children learn to identify animal babies and their parents. This simple, questioning approach helps young children engage with growth, change and families. Animal Babies in Grasslands shows seven young mammals living in this habitat, including lions, meerkats, elephants, prairie dogs, zebras, kangaroos and giraffes. From the close-knit prairie dog communities of North America to the big-eared elephants of Africa's scrubland, the delightful images and lively text will engage and delight young children.

Babies and toddlers will love these four vibrant, foam-covered board books that come in a cute handled bag that they can take wherever they go. Each book is chock-full of adorable animals and is perfect for little hands. There's so much to see and discover that your littlest reader will always have something fun to choose from. Take them on a "trip" to four beloved places! Begin the "tour" with Forest, where animals like a bear cub sit by the river and grumble: "grrr"; then off to Zoo, where a giraffe calf says "chomp" and feasts on shiny green leaves; next stop: Farm, where a mud-covered piglet says "oink"; and finally, at home with Pets, where a pretty kitten says "meow" and chases a string. Children will laugh with delight as they learn each animal's name and all of the noises they make. It's a perfectly lovely way to foster an early love of reading at nap time, bedtime, or any time you want to spark their curiosity about the world around them.
