Mom’s Review
From the reproductive system to through gestation and beyond birth, readers learn common mammal traits as well as fascination exceptions like the platypus's egg-laying. Readers of all levels can engage with the material, whether it be the illustrations or the two different levels of text - captions identify details in the pictures while a text block gives a broad overview of the topic on that particular two-page spread.
I like Mama Mammals because of how accessible the content is and how appealing the illustrations are. You'll see absolutely adorable baby animals and hilarious hippos spraying poop. You'll read about the extremes and the averages. In short, you'll get a very good grasp of mammalian reproduction and enjoy the learning experience. This is one more excellent example of the laudable direction children's nonfiction has taken.
