Illustrated by
Andrew Kiss.
The realistic wildlife paintings are the strength of this book. Raccoons, otters, geese, skunks, bear, fox, and other forest creatures with their young are showcased in pencil drawings and full-color landscapes. One line of text describes what the young are doing. Four pages at the back provide aditional information about the animals and give clues about words hidden in each picture, but the separation of information and illustrations is awkward.
