A whimsically illustrated collection of fascinating, surprising, and funny facts about baby animals and their parents, from the author of The Illustrated Compendium of Amazing Animal Facts.

Who doesn't love baby animals? Amazing Facts About Baby Animals is an adorable celebration of all kinds of fuzzy, fluffy, scaly, and feathery animal babies and their parents. This charming collection by beloved Swedish artist Maja Säfström is full of interesting, weird, and funny facts about animals before they are born (elephants are pregnant for 22 months!), when they are born (whales are born tail-first so they don't drown!), and life as babies (parrots give their offspring names! Baby macaques have snowball fights!). Perfect for art- and nature-loving kids and adults, this sweet book makes a wonderful gift and conversation starter for the whole family.

Dear Reader, 

The animal world is full of all different kinds of babies, parents, and families. 

In this book I have presented a few of them!

Some babies live with their families for a long time; others have to grow up very fast. 

Like us, all animals want their babies to have the opportunity to grow up healthy and strong. 

I hope that you will enjoy the book, learn something new, and be reminded of the amazing diversity of the animal world.
