Happy Friday! The weather buzz is all over the place as we hunker down for anything from a blizzard to zero snowfall here in northern NJ. Fact Friday features New on Earth: Baby Animals in the Wild by Suzi Eszterhas. Ms. Eszterhas' name should ring a bell among careful readers of The Daily Book Talk. She's a professional wildlife photographer and I have featured her books on Fact Friday often. This book features, well, baby animals from all around the world. The photos are well-captioned, containing bite-sized tidbits of information about the animal and or the photographic techniques used to get the shot. There are baby bears in Alaska, baby tigers in India, cheetahs in Africa. The photos are all stunning and many just tickle the "aw, so cute!" button.
If you love animals, this is the book for you. If you are interested in conservation, this is the book for you. If you are a budding wildlife photographer... As an additional point of interest, the author is donating 30% if the proceeds to the Wildlife Conservation Network. I have a wait list for the book in my library already. It's sure to be a crowd pleaser.
