A Book of Babies

(4) PS Whimsical mixed-media illustrations picture a duckling observing animal babies' differences and similarities: fish have multiple siblings, zebras walk at birth, some are carried in pouches, and others are covered with scales or fur, but all sleep at day's end. The story is soothing, but that the duckling is omnipresent across varied habitats and climates (under the ocean, polar regions, etc.) may strike viewers as odd.
