Gentle meditation with one illustrated page on each of many species' infants, ending with a pregnant woman and then welcoming the baby. ( )

In this book, the author explains what life would be like if you were born as various animals. Some of the animals mentioned include whales, chicks, seahorses, bears, elephants and more. At the end, the author explains the birth of an actual human and uses similes such as "Wrinkled as a deer mouse" and "Free as a kitten" to show comparison in the birth of animals and humans. I think this is a great book to introduce children to animals and how their babies are born, as well as humans. ( )

Each page of this book teaches you about what you may do if you were a different animal. Some animals talked about were elephants, snakes, frogs, possums, etc.

Oh the miracle of life! This book explores the intimate moments after birth of several different baby animals and a baby human at the end. The illustrations are gorgeous and unique, including a note from the artist about how she experimented with a new technique. The text pattern is evident and simple, yet unique and descriptive, perfect for all leveled readers and listeners. Bauer is a Newberry Honor author and Stammen has been recognized for her "exquisite" illustrations. The book is great for animal lovers and curious children alike. ( )

Not much about kittens. Childs book that shows how different baby animals are born. ( )
