Baby Animals Moving

In this companion to Baby Animals Playing, wildlife photographer Eszterhas features 12 species of young animals. An orangutan clings to its mother’s fur, warthog piglets run through the grass, and a joey travels in its mother’s pouch. Eszterhas pairs the photographs with playful descriptions: “Hold on tight! A cute koala hitches a ride on Mom’s back. By the time she turns one she will climb trees all by herself.” In another photo, a sea otter pup snuggles up to his mother as she swims on her back (“What a cozy way to travel!”). In a closing spread, Eszterhas includes additional photos and insights into her process: “I had to climb high up a tree in the rain forest of Costa Rica to snap a photo of this sleepy baby and its mom,” she writes about two sloths. Eszterhas’s respect and affection for her subjects shines through in her dynamic, expertly framed images. Ages 3–6. (Mar.)
