Newborns: How Baby Animals Come into the World

This nonfiction book looks at how 25 different animals enter the world and survive their earliest moments. It includes Darwin’s frogs, whose tadpoles hatch in their father’s mouth; giraffes, whose newborns fall while their mothers stand; and dolphins, whose babies must reach the surface to breathe. From scorpions to ravens and red kangaroos, it compares gestation, independence, and parental care.
