Wee Reads: Animal Babies by Charles Fuge

Ever since Finn was born, and even before then, we would read to him. We wanted to show him reading from an early age. Now he loves us to read the same books, over, and over, and over. But it is the sweetest thing, when he likes to pick out a book and climb into our laps.

With simple, rhyming text and lavish illustrations by Charles Fuge, this vibrant board book explores the lives of the cutest critters in the land: baby animals!
From baby bears who feel safest up a tree and baby penguins who nest on their daddy's feet to baby koalas who hitch a ride on their mama's back, each spread features unlikely pairs of baby animals playing and interacting. Ducks, chimps, elephants, rhinos, meerkats, whales, and even sea horses all make an appearance to bring delight children of all ages.

Do you like this book?
Yeah! I loved all the babies with their mommas.

What's your favorite part of the book?
I liked when the meerkats were playing with the snake! And when the sloth was hanging upside down, I like to hang upside down!

What do you think of the cover?
Yeah, because the duck was just hatching!

Do you want me to read it again?
Sometime.




Okay this book is adorable. It was super fun to read, and flowed well because it all rhymed. Animal Babies also teaches a little bit about the babies and has adorable artwork.
We received an ARC on my kindle for this book, and as adorable as it is, Finn is just a bit too old for it so we will not be buying it (Unless I have more babies myself!)
