A cute koala hitches
a ride on Mom's back.
By the time she turns
one she will climb
trees all by herself.
An elephant calf
must travel to get
water every day."
This is the second book in a new series by this award winning photographer. In the first she filled the pages with wonderful photographs of Baby Animals Playing. At our house, we fell in love with all of the captivating images of sweet babies enjoying their surroundings and their playmates.
Today I am sharing an equally enjoyable book filled with photos taken around the world. We follow a number of babies as they make their way from place to place ... at times on their own, at other times surrounded by family members. It is easy to see how much Suzi Eszterhas loves the work she does by looking closely at the images she has captured. A tiny orangutan clings quietly to his mother as she swings from tree to tree. Warthogs babies stick together as they run quickly across the grassland to keep themselves safe from animals looking for a quick meal. Baby grizzlies, fearing the water, grab a piggyback ride on Mom as she cools off in a nearby river.
I can hear the 'awwws', and you haven't even seen the pictures! The photos are really quite remarkable. Each is accompanied by a perfect amount of text for the intended audience. In two final pages, Ms. Eszterhas introduces herself:
"When I'm not snapping photos, I like talking to people about how they can help wild animals. I think it's important for kids to connect with animals and nature."
She does a terrific joy of making that happen in the many books she has written for children.
