Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
Sure, baby animals are cute. But have you ever seen what they look like before they're born?
Have you ever wondered how animals develop the traits they need to survive? Or how they grow from a single cell at conception to complex, unique creatures? The answer is complicated--there are so many ways to grow!
Author Carrie A. Pearson introduces readers to a variety of animals and shows how they develop some of their defining features. See how bats form wings so they can take flight. And how mice make whiskers to sense their surroundings. Watch Them Grow explores genetics, gestation, and early development through twelve different animal examples. Discover animal beginnings and watch them grow everything they need to survive.
