Shelley Rotner, a National Geographic photographer and prolific children's author, applies her trained eye for crisp colors and details to the cutest baby animals in this science board book.
Shelley Rotner is the author and photo-illustrator of more than thirty books, including the Hello Seasons! series, Grow! Raise! Catch!, What’s the Weather?, and Shapes for Holiday House, among others.
