Meet otter, bobcat, and a host of other baby critters wild and domestic as they go about their daily and nightly routines!\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Sweet and simple, introducing the love of books to even the very youngest babies is fun and easy with this adorable board book.Tildes follows\u003ci\u003e Baby Animals Spots \u0026amp; Stripes\u003c\/i\u003e with another  high-contrast board book, this time showing four woodland creatures  awake and asleep. Wispy, naturalistic images with the look of  scratchboard art show a chipmunk eating an acorn as the book opens;  opposite, it curls up in a thatch of grass. Baby bobcats, otters, and  skunks follow, and black backgrounds for the bobcat and skunk's \"awake\"  scenes hint at their nocturnal habits. A full-color closing spread of a  human child almost seems like it belongs to another book, visually  speaking, but should help youngest readers draw connections between  their own habits and those of the pictured animals.\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eAs she did in \u003ci\u003eBaby Animals Spots \u0026amp; Stripes\u003c\/i\u003e (2014) and \u003ci\u003eBaby Animals Black \u0026amp; White\u003c\/i\u003e (1998), Tildes uses detailed black-and-white illustrations to catch  infants' eyes, here highlighting four unusual animals.At the same time  she subtly and wordlessly imparts some pretty sophisticated scientific  concepts. Tildes' illustrations alternate between the diurnal chipmunk  and otter and the nocturnal bobcat and skunk. Each animal is shown  twice, awake and asleep on opposite pages, with only the black or white  background hinting at the time of day when that animal is active.  Although each animal is named, the more complex concepts are left for  adult reading partners, or perhaps older siblings, to point out or  ignore depending on the interest, age, and attention of their babies.  This is an age-appropriate choice, but it relies on adults to supply the  scientific vocabulary. A toy chipmunk and otter-, bobcat- and  skunk-decorated clothing reprise the same animals in the final,  full-color pair of images of a charming human baby. The purple-clad  child is appropriately androgynous and also ethnically ambiguous, though  this curly-haired darling is very pale.A simple book with interesting  possibilities for repeated reading, especially likely to hold the  attention of both babies and their preschool-age siblings.\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Kirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003ePhyllis Limbacher Tildes is the author and illustrator of many books for children, including Animals in Camouflage and Animals Black and White.  She is a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design.
