ReviewedWhich animals have the cutest babies? Each book in this adorable series compares two baby animals. Colorful photos highlight the similarities and differences of each baby. Simple text guides readers through each animal’s cutest body parts and behaviors. Special features highlight important facts about each baby and encourage readers to decide for themselves which animal is the cutest. Who is the cuter baby? It’s up to readers!
These titles compare two animals that share an undeniable quality of cuteness. Each spread highlights a particular physical feature or behavior, with visual examples of each animal, one in an inset circle, and the other in a full-page view. Short sentences describe the components that can be seen in the photos. Captions identify features that are not obvious, such as the axolotl’s gills and the sugar glider’s flap. The proper name of each creature’s young is used instead of the animal name, which reinforces the terminology, but may make identification more challenging, especially with less familiar words like larvae (axolotl) and hatchling (gecko). A final spread provides a useful review, with side-by-side photos and smaller insets showing all seven of the factual comparisons. The question of which animal is cuter is left up to readers. VERDICT: Visually appealing animal profiles for young readers.
