Review
Capturing close-up photography is a special art perfected by Lieder. His photos are enchanting, they will delight all ages who peruse the pages. Each baby seems to be sitting right on the page, so lifelike that they take the breath away. Even the members of the insect class are caught at their best. Frost's text is simple, concise and in large print enabling early readers. Certainly older reluctant readers will enjoy trying to identify the animals as pages are turned. The author has provided two pages which does name the animals and gives limited information.
I only wish there was more content in the end pages. An educational opportunity is somewhat missed.
Overall Book Score: very good
