Following on the success of her Instagram feed and first book, Sad Animal Facts, New York Times bestselling author/illustrator Brooke Barker continues her examination of the various foibles and pitfalls of the zoological world, but with its fledgling members this time around, in Sad Animal Babies. No one ever said it was easy being young, and it's especially true if you're a little creature out in the jungles, forests, deserts, and oceans of the big, bad world. Featuring more than 100 entries, Sad Animal Babies is organized into the categories of Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, Insects & Miscellaneous Invertebrates, Marsupials, Fish, and Aquatic Mammals. Every animal gets a hand-drawn image, an informative caption, and a wry quotation, and in the back, there's an appendix with further zoological details and humor to flesh out each entry. Between a great track record, a consistently engaged and growing following, and the universal appeal of cute little baby animals, Barker's next book could be her biggest.
