Book Review: Baby Animals Moving

If you like looking at photos of adorable baby animals, then we have a book for you! It’s called Baby Animals Moving and it’s filled with photos from wildlife photographer Suzi Eszterhas. Suzi travels all over the world taking pictures of and learning about baby animals. This book is about how baby animals get around and learn to survive on their own in the wild. Let’s hear what Chirp readers Claire, Molly, and Simon thought of this book.

“The pictures are adorable and the baby egret is really silly-looking. I want to show my friends the sleeping sea otter!” – Claire, 6

“This book is a little bit funny, mostly interesting, and really fun!” – Molly, 5

“I named all the babies Simon, too!” – Simon, 2

Book Review: Baby Animals Playing

Hi everyone,

If you’re looking for an adorable book to read, check out Baby Animals Playing by wildlife photographer Suzi Eszterhas. This book is new from Owlkids and it was edited by…ME! This book was amazing to work on (I got to look at photos of animals all day) and I think it turned out pretty great. It’s full of fun facts about how baby animals learn the skills they need to survive in the wild through running, jumping, and playing.

Let’s hear what Chirp reader, Vivian, thought of this book!

“The book is about how baby animals play. My favourite part of the book was the baby giraffes playing. They were running. They learn how to run to get away from predators quickly. I think other kids should read this book because it teaches you about animals.” – Vivian, 5 

Thanks, Vivian!

I hope you like this book, too. If you read it leave us a comment below and let us know what you think!
