The world is full of babies!
Mick Manning
- Reading
- Read together at an unhurried pace, pausing over each animal example to invite observations; let the child lead on which comparisons they want to discuss.
- Themes
- Shared traits and differences in infancy: The book compares human babies with young animals and discusses behaviours such as noise, hunger and play, alongside differences as they grow. The overview presents this as factual comparison and learning, rather than advocating a particular value judgement.
- Worth knowing
- The overview mentions everyday needs and behaviour—noise, hunger and play—but does not explain how much detail the book gives about animal development.
