Product Description

Children are fascinated by animals, and particularly their babies - but what are they all called? This is just what a curious puppy wants to know, so he travels all over the world, asking a colourful array of other baby animals he meets, 'What is the name of the baby kangaroo?' Helping youngsters to learn the names of baby animals the world over, Who Are You, Baby Kangaroo? introduces children to penguin chicks, wolf cubs, piglets, zebra foals and many others. And for children who are still curious and want to know more, there are notes at the back of the book on each of the animals in the story.

About the Author
On good days, Stella Blackstone lives east of the sun and west of the moon. On less good days, she lives at the bottom of a well. She finds ideas in all of these places and turns them into songs, poems and rhymes. She has read and written poetry for as long as she can remember, and her favourite books include Louis Untermeyer's A Child's Treasury of Poetry, which was a constant companion throughout her childhood, Paolo Coelho's The Alchemist, everything by T.S. Eliot, and William Buck's translation of The Ramayana. She lives in southwest England, and enjoys walking and working in her garden as well as doing nothing whenever she has the chance. Clare Beaton worked at the BBC for eight years, illustrating on many children's television programmes. She is now highly sought-after creator of handcrafted children's picture books. Clare has had nearly fifty books published, including One Moose, Twenty Mice (Barefoot Books, 1998) and Mother Goose Remembers (Barefoot Books, 2000), both of which have attracted considerable praise.

Customer Reviews

unusual, attractive book for toddlers
A very attractive board book illustrated with embroidery and fabric collage pictures. The rhyming story is about different animal mothers and the different names for their babies, and on the last page we find out that a baby kangaroo is called a joey - so highly recommended for all children called Joey! It's not as attractive as Secret Seahorse by the same author & illustrator, but a very nice book. My only criticism is the font size is very small and not a very attractive font which I feel lets the book down very slightly - but I still recommended it quite highly.
