Baby Animals Eating

by Eszterhas

Overview

Around the world, baby animals eat to grow big and strong. Whether it’s bear cubs snacking on clams, giraffes munching on leaves, or chimpanzee babies drinking milk from their moms, baby animals eating are not only adorable—they can teach us about animal behavior, too.



The third book in the Baby Animals series, Baby Animals Eating showcases more than 10 species from around the world eating different things. Stunning, intimate, full-color photographs by Suzi Eszterhas are each paired with a short sentence highlighting information about the animal. Designed both to be read aloud and for young children to explore independently, this book will encourage readers to make connections between themselves and the animals. Back matter gives further information about Suzi Eszterhas and some behind-the-scenes detail.

Gr 1–4—A beautiful book of photographs of baby animals eating their favorite foods. The pictures show parent animals sharing food with their babies in many different ways. Bears catch food such as fish and clams and give them to their cubs. Koalas and giraffe babies munch on leaves with their parents. The older jackals, penguins, and egrets find and eat food then spit it up into their babies' mouths so the dangerous hunting is done by the parent while the babies are safe at home. Monkeys, chimps, and warthogs all drink milk from their mothers. The photography in this book is fantastic and illustrates the accompanying text perfectly. At the end of the book the creator has a two-page biography detailing her travels and work to help raise money for animal conservation programs. VERDICT A lovely addition for elementary libraries, especially where baby animal books are popular.—Cynde Suite, Bartow County Library System, Adairsville, GA

A longtime wildlife photographer presents an album of her photographs of baby animals eating.Eszterhas, who has observed and photographed animals around the world, strings these irresistible images together with short explanations of what and how they're eating. Brown bears, koalas, jackals, penguins, egrets, cheetahs, monkeys and chimpanzees, giraffes, warthogs, raccoons, orangutans, and sloths—the animals range from the familiar to the unusual, at least in a book for very young readers. Most of the pictures seem to have been taken in the wild, and often they include a parent: a mother brown bear giving her cub a fish; monkeys, chimps, and warthogs nursing from their mothers; father jackals and penguins regurgitating food for their offspring. The images expand to fill most spreads, and there are occasional insets to vary the design. A final spread introduces the photographer and seven more animals, including an orphaned serval kitten the author bottle-fed (as she recounted in Moto and Me, 2017). The descriptions are short and use appropriate vocabulary, including specialized terminology for the animal babies. The book could be shared one-on-one with even very young listeners, who will be entranced by the pictures and informed by the read-aloud text.An appealing addition to any nature-themed collection. (Informational picture book. 3-7)
