Synopsis

Baby animals come in many different shapes and sizes, and many of those shapes and sizes are covered in spots or stripes.
In Baby Animals Spots & Stripes, each turn of the page reveals a pair of adorable baby animals—one spotted and one striped. On the back cover of the book is a list of the animals featured (mammals, reptiles, birds, and fish). The book closes with a full-color illustration of babies playing with toy versions of each animal.
This title is a companion to the best-selling Baby Animals Black and White. The bold black-and-white patterns stimulate eyesight and brain development in infants. The recognition and naming of familiar animals promotes speech development in older babies and infants.

About this title

From the Author:

In this follow-up to my very popular Baby Animals Black and White board book, I had fun illustrating many of my favorite animals. I must admit I have a love of raccoons, especially baby raccoons. My husband and I raised an orphan baby many years ago. They are such clever animals.
The baby barred owl on this cover is another favorite. We have nesting barred owls on our island that is part of Savannah, Georgia. I hear the parents calling to one another with their hoot that sounds like" Who cooks for you! Who cooks for you too!".

She was a freelance graphic designer for over 25 years, doing everything from logos to opera and ballet promotion pieces.
