Agonizingly adorable photographs of newborn animals steal the spotlight in this introduction to a baby fox, hyena, tiger, mongoose, and more. The closeup, full-bleed images appear opposite brief, exuberant prose written from each animal's perspective ("They call me Rooby, and I'm a kangaroo. What's a gal to do when her fur hasn't grown in yet?"). For those seeking greater detail, an appendix includes the animals' conservation status, information about their traits and habits, and the zoos and parks where they make their homes. Ages 2-up.
