Humorous photographs of animals are the focus of this board book, published in association with the National Wildlife Federation. Captions appear with each image, applying more than a little anthropomorphism to the animals' actions while connecting their behavior in unexpected ways. %E2%80%9CBaby opossums catch a ride," reads one page, as 10 opossum babies cling to a parent; opposite, %E2%80%9CFawn wants a ride, too," as a baby deer seems to stare glumly at the opossums on the facing page. It's a quick, lighthearted peek at the behaviors of squirrels, elephants, tigers, pandas, and more. Up to age 3. (Feb.)
