    SO CUTE! PUPPIES (SO COOL/SO CUTE), by Crispin Boyer, National Geographic Kids, Feb. 1, 2022, Hardcover, $6.99 (ages 3-5)

    That wrinkly little face. Those sweet puppy dog eyes! That squishy, pudgy, fuzzy body! Let’s face it … puppies are SO CUTE! And, well, so is this book!

    Ready to get your paws on the most playful puppies in town? Well then you’ve come to the right place! From puppies at playtime to rascally ruff-housing, this book gives kids an engaging introduction to these adorable animals. —Synopsis provided by National Geographic Kids

    If your child loves puppies, then this is the perfect book for them. Even my 8-year-old, who is way too old for this book, was immediately drawn to it, making awwwww sounds with each turn of the page. In addition to adorable photos, readers are treated to interesting facts ranging from behavior to breeds. Those factoids are paired with funny text from the puppies themselves.


    Little Kids First Big Book of Baby Animals (First Big Books), by Maya Myers, National Geographic Kids, March 22, 2022, Hardcover, $14.99 (ages 4-8)

    Meet more than 40 animal babies from every corner of the globe, from ocean depths to
    mountaintops, grassy plains to polar lands.

    Features include:

        • A map that shows where these animals are found in the wild
        • Questions in each chapter that encourage interactive learning
        • Simple text for reading aloud or for beginning readers
        • Engaging photography of real animals in their habitats
        • Parent tips that extend the experience beyond the book

     Find out how these wee wild ones are born, where they live, what their families are like, how they get their food, and how they learn to do things on their own―all the things that are important to young humans, too! —Synopsis provided by National Geographic Kids

    At 125 pages, this book features a wide range of animals. Larger text in small snippets make it more accessible to young readers. Charming photographs make this a joy for readers of all ages.
