Science Readers: Baby Animals

Baby Animals is a simple informational text that introduces the words used to name baby animals.  The text has a repeating pattern: each two-page spread reads “2 ___” and “1 ___.” A two-page activity written in procedural language invites students to explore how baby animals are like their parents. 

Each two-page spread contains a number and one word with illustrations that match the text directly. The book has a glossary and an index.

Some simple plurals using –s are used.  Glossary words are bold faced throughout the text.
