Mother and babies. Babies and mothers. The animal kingdom offers a special fascination for children because so many of the cozy rituals they share at home are echoed in nature. In this beguiling approach to biology, middle graders can learn how animals eat, sleep and learn from birth to maturity. Fourteen different species including the Least Shrew, the Mexican Free-Tailed Bat and the Hooded Seal are presented in detailed illustrations and a scrupulously researched text. The writing is accessible to eight-year-olds, but the interest holds for older children as well.
A plush toy can be added with any Platypus book for $12.95. Alternatively, click here to buy the plush toy on its own!
