2008 2 x 2 Booklist (2)


Babies in the Bayou by Jim Arnosky

In the bayou, their is a variety of babies that are born and make their home their. The babies may be equipped to survive in that habitat, but mothers still need to protect them from their predators. The alligators are born with sharp teeth, the turtles with hard shells, the raccoon with sharp claws, and the ducks with webbed feet. The illustrations in the book captures the beautiful wildlife that thrive in the bayou. I enjoyed reading and viewing the illustrations in this picture book. I would recommend it to lower grades and to reluctant readers since the passages are short and to the point. This book can be used in a Science lesson regarding habitats and the relationship between predator and prey.
