If My Mom Were A Platypus

More about the book

All over the world, in all kinds of habitats, mothers bring forth new life. All mammal babies need their mothers -- they need to be nurtured and nourished long enough to learn how to survive on their own. All mammal mothers feed, protect, and teach their young -- tasks that often challenge their own needs for survival. All mammal babies must learn how to feed and protect themselves. This fascinating introduction to the world of mammals reveals how fourteen mammal babies travel the path from helpless infants to self-sufficient adults.
