Babies love to hide. Beneath blankets, under tables, and behind chairs. And some babies like to hide in unexpected places. Like baby deer, who disappear in dappled spring sunlight. Or baby leopards, who scramble high in the African trees. Or baby elephants, who fade behind a forest of legs. But all hidden babies, no matter where they hide, can always be found-by their loving parents.

About the Author:
Kathryn O. Galbraith is an award-winning children's book author with more than a dozen picture books to her credit. She teaches writing for children at the University of Washington.
From School Library Journal:
PreS-K-A human baby sits on a carpet surrounded by his pets: a dog asleep in a basket and two cats. It's a familiar scene, but "some babies are found in unusual places." The rest of the book shows 11 different kinds of young animals in their natural habitats. On a closing foldout, listeners are assured that a mother always knows where to find her offspring. Back matter consists of three pages of additional information about the wildlife featured, and the science lessons are just right for a young audience: "A baby rabbit is called a kitten or a kit. A kit is hairless and blind when it is born; it opens its eyes when it is ten days old." The soft acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations are exquisite. Fur and feathers are so realistic that children will reach out to touch them. The creatures' eyes are expressive and their habitats are full and lush. This one is a sure winner.-Ieva Bates, Ann Arbor District Library, MIα(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journal. LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
