Meet My Family!: Animal Babies and Their Families
by Laura Purdie Salas (Author) and Stephanie Fizer Coleman (Illustrator)
Booktalk: What kind of families do animal babies have? All different kinds! Meet a wolf pup cared for by the pack, a young orangutan snuggling with its mother high in a tree, a poison dart frog tadpole riding piggyback on its dad, and more. Rhyming verse and informational text help you discover just how diverse the animal kingdom really is!

I used this great book last year with my second grade class. Animals are always a favorite topic. . . but the unique way that animal family groups are presented in this book encouraged great discussions about our own families. I also used this book as a mentor text to encourage students to write about their families. So excited to share this one with next year’s group!
