Why kangaroos have pockets : how animals care for their young

Hanackova, Pavla2018
Books, Manuscripts
Another title for young children from the team at Australian Geographic. This book focuses on how different animals care for their young. When humans have a baby, they devote all their love, care, and attention to them but how does it work in the animal world? Are animals also diligent parents? Surprisingly, parenthood in the animal kingdom is very diverse. You can find parents who share the child-rearing duties equally and hand down all the knowledge their young will need in life. In other animal families, just the mum or dad is in charge of the upbringing, and they handle it with great skill. However, we can also encounter parents who don't look after their young at all, and leave them to the care of others, or to fend for themselves. Kids will delight in the journey through the wilderness to meet various animal families, and discover their different approaches to child-rearing. As you will find out, animals have all kinds of creative ways to care for the young!
