Adorable photos of baby animals. Talented photographer(s) really captured the perfect moments. I loved the 3 volumes of this series. ( )

weinig tekst, voornamelijk foto's van (vaak zeldzame) dieren die in de dierentuin geboren zijn. De foto's zijn schitterend. Jammer is dat het formaat van het boekje te klein is om het echt tot zijn recht te laten komen..... ( )

I was not quite sure what to expect from ZooBorns by Andrew Bleiman and Chris Eastland. I wondered whether it was targeted towards adults or kids, or if it was just a coffee table book. As it turned out, ZooBorns was all of these things! For an entire week after I received ZooBorns, I brought it out to almost every dinner I went to. Without a fail, the first viewer’s oohs and aahs had everyone else grappling to take a look at the adorable animals pictured of the book’s pages.

ZooBorns features baby animals from zoos and aquariums around the world, and discusses the role that these births play in conservation efforts. Beautiful photos of animals are accompanied by descriptions that include the dates of births, their endangered status, and background stories for each baby.

In ZooBorns pages, you will find well known animals like orangutans, giraffes and kangaroos. However, you will also see photos of animals like the crowned sifaka and the rock hyrax that I’ve personally never seen or heard of before.

ZooBorns is more of a photo/coffee table book than one that required dedicated reading. The images are too adorable for words and you will definitely find an animal or two that you knew nothing before opening this book. It’s likely to appeal to adults and children alike, and will surely spark a conversation in any room! ( )

Book Review: Just buy the book, its so frickin adorable you will just fall in love with it. Trust me! Stunningly adorable pictures, interesting facts, and it is very inexpensive -- yup I am getting me a copy for the in-laws for xmas. Mom in law volunteers at the Metro Toronto Zoo, so I know she will love it. Also you are doing something good by purchasing it, as a portion of all proceeds from sales goes directly to the AZA's Conservation Endowment Fund. Only complaints with book are there is only 1 animal from the Toronto Zoo and not enough pictures of Otters (I love them). Why are you still reading -- get thee to a book store now -- and get me a copy while you are at it ; )
