This adorable picture book features dozens of baby animals from familiar species like the Elephant and Rabbit, to strange species like the Long-Eared Jerboa and the Serval. The photographs of these cute little babies are colorful and sweet! There are tiny cartoon characters drawn into the corners of the pages who cheer for the babies. The text describes all the things we love about animal babies, their soft fur, their stripes, and fins. Their hooves, and paws. Their snuffles and snorts, their squawks and peeps. "Big or tiny, fast or slow" we definitely love animal babies! Photographs of the animal babies are placed in a colorful background design that is sure to capture the attention of little readers. At the back of the book there is a glossary listing the species of each baby animal, and showing what they are called. For instance, a baby elephant is called a calf. A baby dormouse is a pup. A baby rabbit is a kit. A baby angelfish is called a fry. A baby kangaroo is a joey. And a baby alpaca is a cria. This would be really fun to read with a young child and talk about each of the animals. You could ask the child to identify some of the words that come up in the text, and point out a bird beak or a snout or the ears.

Harriet Tubman was born as a slave and escaped to freedom. She worked tirelessly to free other slaves and even served as a spy during the American Civil War. She is best known for her work as a "conductor," guiding slaves to freedom through the "Underground Railroad," a series of safe houses called "stations" that allowed slaves to travel undetected to the Northern United States and Canada. I loved the simple writing style, easy for a beginner to understand. There are fact boxes in the corners that explain the meanings of words, and give direct quotes from Tubman. There are many features that make this book special, like a time line of Tubman's life, quick facts about her, and the many ways people have honored her legacy. There is a quiz at the back of the book to test your knowledge about Tubman and help with reading comprehension. The colorful design and old-timey photos captured my attention. There are also activities and questions that get the reader engaged and make them think carefully about the ideas in the book. I appreciated how thoughtful the questions are and how much goes into the design! Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a free and honest review.
