Oooh! Discover some impossibly cute baby animals at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, in a fun photographic board book created in collaboration with the Smithsonian.

What’s more fun than watching animals? Watching baby animals! Bear cubs frolic together on a bright spring day. Sweet seal pups snuggle up to their mamas. And cheetah cubs love to lounge peacefully in the grass.

With a rhyming text, photos of favourite animals, and doodles and drawings by Lala Watkins adding to the playful effect, this adorable board book offers a peek at the youngest zoo residents—for little enthusiasts of all species.
