Description:

What do you call a baby otter? A baby shark? A baby porcupine? Get ready to find out in this delightful, giggle-filled picture book by Meg Fleming, brought to life with bold, silly illustrations from Brandon James Scott. The fun begins when a little human declares, "I was born a baby!" — and suddenly, baby animals everywhere want to chime in. There are colts and piglets, hoglets and pufflings, joeys and puggles. But when several creatures all insist they're called a "pup" or a "calf" or a "kid", everyone bursts into a catchy chant: "No way! No how! That can't be true!" With its bouncy rhythm, surprise-around-every-corner refrain, and clever vocabulary about animal life cycles, this irresistible read-aloud is part comedy, part nature lesson — and a guaranteed favourite for story time.
