This Is How I Grow
Description
Explore what it means to be all grown up!
All newborn mammals--whether they have hooves, flippers, claws, or wings--rely on mother's milk to help them grow. In order to survive, every cub, calf, and kit must eventually figure out how to find their own food. From bats learning how to fly to elephants gaining control of their trunks, animal families help their young develop the tools they need to hunt, forage, or scavenge. Open this book to explore the incredible variety of skills baby mammals must learn in order to survive and thrive.
This Is How I Grow is a 2019 Tillywig Brain Child award winner.
