It is a compilation of all four titles from the series of the same name: Little Wonders: Animal Babies and Their Families, Time to Eat: Animals Who Hide and Save Their Food, Side by Side: Animals Who Help Each Other, and Wild Talk: How Animals Talk to Each Other.

Sea otters wrap their babies in seaweed so they won't float away in the water? American alligator babies travel in their mothers' huge mouths? Cheerful watercolor artwork and a picture book format make this title especially appealing for young children and a wonderful resource for learning about the animal world for the first time. A Who's Who guide at the end of the book provides additional details about each species and its habitat, encouraging additional questioning and research for the older child.Baillie, Marilyn is the author of 'Amazing Things Animals Do' with ISBN 9781894379571 and ISBN 1894379578.
