About This Book:
Animal parents shower their little ones with love in so many unique ways. Doves coo and dolphins whistle, while penguins huddle with their chicks for warmth and mountain goats shield their kids’ falls. Eye-catching collage illustrations and a lyrical text invite readers to explore animal behavior around the globe and celebrate the universal nature of a caregiver’s love.

Updated I LOVE YOU FOREVER
The use of the names of the different types of animal babies is nice to see in the refrain (“my calf, my calf”; also kids, chicks, and foals) interspersed with terms of endearment, and this would lend the book to a nice extension activity of finding out the names of different animal offspring.
This reads like a Runaway Bunny or I Love You Forever for the new millenium, since the Brown and Munsch titles, respectively, haven’t aged all that well. In addition to being a sweet book about the enduring love that parents have for children, it’s a good book to teach about young creatures, along with Larsen’s All of Those Babies, Jenkins’ Find Out About Animal Babies, and the classic Little Golden Book illustrated by Garth Williams, Baby Animals.
