Customer Reviews

I will help you climb your own mountains...but first I'll tuck you in
From baby otters to wolves to mountain goats, animal parents teach animal babies important life lessons. Baby bear learns to wake from hibernation while baby skunk learns to "give others fair warning before you act." And the last important lesson is that a human dad will help his baby learn about the world, all the while keeping him safe. Each animal has a two-page spread with charming colorful illustrations that are finely drawn, but not hyper-realistic. A wonderful good-night story

Beautiful and sweet book
The illustrations are lovely and the text, with its simple life lessons, is very touching. I highly recommend snuggly in bed with your little ones at the end of a day and sharing a sweet moment together reading this book.

My 2 year old loves this book!
My son loves to say goodnight to all the baby animals in this book. A great way to introduce nature/animals. Enjoyable as a bedtime book.
