        This book encourages thinking about the ways birds, mammals, and reptiles care for their young. Each spread explains a different parenting practice with a trite rhymed couplet and a descriptive fact; both birds included show a mother �cf2]and�cf1] father actively participating. The detailed art features gentle, smiling faces that enhance the calm tone. A matching game and teaching guide are appended. Reading list, websites.
