Beautiful, heartwarming photographs of animal babies with their parents in their natural habitat. This fabulous 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 Deserts" shows seven young desert animals - dingoes, ground squirrels, camels, gerbils, ostriches, oryxes and fennec foxes. From an alert, long-necked ostrich chick to the large-eared cub of a fennec fox, the delightful images and lively text will engage and delight young children.
