Why read Who's My Mom? with your child
Turn it into a quiz game. Read the mother, cover the baby name, and let your child guess: what is a swan's baby called, or a horse's? The book gives the answer on every page, from cygnet to joey to fawn. Pause and ask which baby name surprised your child most, and which animal mother they would most want to meet.

Inside the book
Who's My Mom? introduces a baby animal who is learning about life, and then pairs mothers with their babies, one page at a time. An orangutan's baby is an infant, a swan's baby is a cygnet, and a kangaroo's baby is a joey.
Children gain the right word for many baby animals, and a sense of how mothers and babies belong together. The simple pattern makes it easy to guess the next baby name.
From the book: “As a baby animal I have a lot to learn about life in the forest, jungle, lake, prairie, pond, and just around the farm.”
