Baby Animals Trying is full of beautifully illustrated pages that contain an assortment of facts about baby animals. I loved the variety of animals and that the story itself was easy to read for children, but there were more in depth explanations of each baby animal in the back of the book.

This book is perfect for any children interested in animals, and I think children will really love learning about the different species. .

I received an ARC from SOURCEBOOKS Kids | Sourcebooks Explore via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

We road tripped to Florida for spring break and I was so happy I had been approved for sixteen new children’s books coming out this year. It helped so much to break up some time with stories! The kids loved them and had so much fun picking out a book from my netgalley app to read. We didn’t read a single book we didn’t like! Tuckers favorite was Elmo’s new book, Kinley loved the fairy godmother book, Dawsyn loved the basketball one, and Briggs adored the animal book. I highly suggest adding all of these to your summer library reading lists for kids. I love children’s books, and these were full of beautiful illustrations, stories, and allowed us to have some great conversations after them. Thank you @netgalley for these advanced copies! @lisakatzenberger @alicewalstead @eringuendelsberger @aimeereid @christiematheson @jackjokinen @sandranickel @janechapman @hudaharajli @fraanushkin @saralauxakin @laurapurdiesalas @katyhudson emilymurrow @zackwilliams 📚📖🚗☀️🏝️🌊👙

Very cute illustrations, but this goes without saying actually, since this book is about baby animals and their beginning endeavors at life. I found the script to also be offered in a gently educational, almost subtle manner and feel this work for young children will be of great interest to them.

There's a range of animals mentioned such as: foals, elephants, seals, honey bears, orangutangs and many more, which will keep any child enthused. It would make for a pleasant reading session and time to connect with one's child, I'd say.

At book's end, are further short blurbs about the various animals named within the previous pages. These, perhaps are extras for slightly older children who can read and are keen on learning more about these babies in nature.

Together, author and illustrator have created a beautiful and enticing children's non-fiction book - at least in my humble opinion, they did.

I give this book a 5-Star rating.

This was so cute! The illustrations were adorable! I really liked how the text first talked about the specific thing each animal does for the first time and then gives a fact about that action on top of that for more context. A really fun way to introduce new animals and activities to a young child. For the older kids, there is even more in-depth info for each animal at the back of the book. Many of them actions are also things that could easily be play-acted with a child. I think I’ll be adding this one to our wishlist.

This was a cute book to read with my young son. He loved learning about all the different animals. The illustrations are adorable. The colors are bright and eye catching. The text was fun and engaging. The book was easy for my son to follow. He especially loved the wolves.

This book follows different animals and their early milestones. I loved this cute book! It had some basic story sentences along with facts about animals. I think a lot of ages will enjoy this one since it has the facts as well. The illustrations were also very colorful and fun to look at. Animal loving kids will love this one!

Thanks so much to netgalley and sourcebook kids for the arc of this book in exchange for an honest review!

A very cute book that I think littles will really enjoy. I liked that there was a more simple sentence on each page, but then there was also a little more-detailed blurb on the same page (I especially appreciated that the blurbs were still simple enough to be geared towards kids and not go straight over their heads). Would be a great story to read to kids of multiple ages in a family.
