Sad Animal Babies Kindle Edition

by Brooke Barker (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 77 ratings
See all formats and editions
A new collection of cartoons and science trivia by the New York Times–bestselling author, explaining why life is tough for little creatures in the wild . . .
 
No one ever said it was easy being young, and it’s especially true if you’re a little creature out in the jungles, forests, deserts, and oceans of the big, bad world. Following on the success of her Instagram feed and first book, Sad Animal Facts, Brooke Barker continues her examination of the various foibles and pitfalls of the zoological world, focusing on its fledgling members this time around.
 
Featuring more than 100 entries, the book is organized into the categories of Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, Insects & Miscellaneous Invertebrates, Marsupials, Fish, and Aquatic Mammals. Every animal gets a hand-drawn image, an informative caption, and a wry quotation, and in the back, there’s an appendix with further zoological details.
 
Praise for Brooke Barker

Nice hardcover, so it'll be around for awhile. Purchased several copies, giving them to niece and granddaughters as little surprises. They really seem to enjoy them. I know I did when I read them before I delivered them.
