Another welcome concept book (1-2-3 ZooBorns!; ABC ZooBorns!) starring irresistible baby zoo animals. Here, each spread introduces an animal with a photo and playful text about its color and/or pattern: "Hi, ring-tailed lemur twins! Look at those long striped tails." For slightly older kids, the critters are identified and described at the end, along with information about their conservation status and zoo home.

Who doesn't love baby zoo animals? Each spread of this numbers book, from "1 ZooBorn riding" to "10 ZooBorns sleeping," shows off adorable photos of a variety of animals participating in that activity. For slightly older kids, the critters are identified and described at the end, along with information about their conservation status and zoo home. A welcome companion to ABC ZooBorns!

Ready-to-Read series.
Each spread identifies and introduces a baby animal species and offers a simple fact or an observation about the accompanying super-cute photo. The photos (previously published in ZooBorns: The Newest, Cutest Animals from the World's Zoos and Aquariums) will be appreciated by young children, though the challenging species and animal names will likely frustrate new readers. Review covers these Ready-to-Read titles: Hello, Mommy ZooBorns! and I Love You, ZooBorns!.

This alphabet book matches adorable photos of baby animals with appropriate letters and brief, equally charming text ("N is for nyala. Sometimes I nuzzle Mama when I feel shy"). The animal's silhouette adorns each letter, and the appended "Get to know the ZooBorns" gives its conservation status, zoo home, and additional information about each pictured animal baby.

Simple text ("Hello there! I'm Beco, and I'm an Asian elephant") and close-up photographs of seventeen baby animals provide a very basic introduction to the diversity and wealth of fauna in zoos around the world. A conservation status key along with brief information about each species and the zoo where each featured animal lives are appended.
