Children learn about life by playing, and so do lots of adorable animals. Following on from the hugely successful titles Animal Families, and Big Babies, Little Babies, Animal Playtime takes a playful peek at baby lions chewing on daddy's tail, polar-bear cubs using their mom's furry body as a climbing frame, and a young monkey trying to escape a parent's clutches to go off with his friends. For each appealing image, the text points out what's going on, why the play takes the form it does, or what the animal baby is learning from it.

Animal Playtime uses simple language that children will understand. It's an ideal book for little ones to share with their parents, and for them to explore by themselves, encouraging their enjoyment of reading, and inspiring them to discover more about the irresistible creatures that scamper through its pages.
