Another wonderful Peek-through Nature book by Patricia Hegarty and Britta Teckentrup! Family is cleverly written and provides snippets of education about different animals and their ways to keep their babies safe. This is a beautifully illustrated rhyming book showing different animals and their young bonding, protecting and caring for each other.

A featured cut out on every page depicts the sun slowly fading to sunset with the moon then emerging to show animals in the nighttime and through to another sunrise. A visually stunning book, it's short and punchy writing is a joy to read and both my girls have loved listening to it.
