Product Description
This whimsical and intriguing picture book explores the different roles of fatherhood in the animal kingdom. Readers will learn about various animal dads and their many different parenting skills: baby-sitting - an emperor penguin dad watches over the eggs for nine weeks while the mother searches for food; hunting - a wolf dad leads the pack on hunting trips and brings meat for new pups to eat; giving birth - a seahorse mother's eggs hatch inside the dad's special belly pouch. Sneed Collard's concise, clear text and award-winning artist Steve Jenkins's informative cut-paper collages reveal unique tasks that animal dads perform in raising their offspring.

I don't know what i was expecting from this book, when i sat down to read it with my daughter. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this beautifully illustrated book gave interesting factual information about animal Dads in nature.
Included in this nature walk: The stickleback, the emporor penguin, the prairie vole, gorilla, poison arrow frog, cichlid, beaver, western meadowlarks, dwarf mongoose, killdeer, salmon, lions, tortoise, wolves, Nile crocodile, Megapodes, Tamarins, isopods, seahorse, and pipefish.
Each page tells an interesting way that Animal Dads nurture their young. An exceptional book that honours the importance of Dads, as well as teaching us some interesting facts about animals.

Though mommy-love books abound, it's rare and welcome to find a book which shows nurturing, caregiving images of fathers. This is a beautiful book, full of gorgeous illustrations and father's love. It's perfect for a new family or a classroom. -- (from a new mom and elementary science teacher)

This is one of the finest non-fiction children's books of 1997. Sneed Collard and Steve Jenkins have combined to create an inspiring and magical book - one that will stimulate discussions in living rooms and classrooms alike. The text is lively and the illustrations are awesome. Teachers will find this to be a wonderful addition to any science or social studies unit - it is a book that will be read and admired for many years. Parents will discover a plethora of opportunities to share the wonders of nature with their children via this book. In short, this book represents the best in children's literature today!
