G. This book shows many animals and on every page it asks if that animal has a mother. On the next page it will say "yes, just like me and you." The best part of this book is its illustrations. The illustrations are colorful collages. At the end of the book it lists names of amimal babies, parents, and groups in the book and describes them. The book gives a picture of many different types of animal mothers with their young. This helps children identify different kinds of animals. At the back of the book it gives a section telling the name of what each young animal is called.

H.I thought that this was a really good book for younger children. The best part of the book is the illustrations. This book would be best for younger children because it does not contain much infortmation and the children would love the pictures of the animals. I noticed that there was repetition in the book making it best for younger children and for beginning readers. I know that when i was a little girl i loved books that contained animals in them. I also liked books with repetition because i could memorize the lines and this helped me learn to read.

I. I think that you could use this book in a classroom when you are talking about families. How each baby has a mother. You could also use it when children are learning about animals because in the back it lists what each animal is called when they are babies and what their groups are also called.
