Reviews

"A beautifully sweet look at how babies are carried. Sure to become a calm and soothing bedtime favorite." Kirkus Reviews

"A good choice to introduce science to the very young." School Library Journal

"An ideal book for very young scientists to begin to explore adaptations, habitats, and life cycles.

The teacher should leave the book where the children can pick it up: they will return to it again and again!"
 National Science Teachers Association

"Stockdale weaves together fact and lyrical prose to create a lullaby both informative and tender."
