"What did you do on your first day--the day you were born? Probably not much" begins this book about baby animals' first hours of life. The simple text effectively highlights the differing degrees of independence of a variety of species' young. Jenkins's torn- and cut-paper collage illustrations employ rounded edges and fuzzy textures to maximize the adorableness of the newborns.
