"Supermoms are everywhere. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and species. With powerful instincts and extraordinary skills, these moms do whatever it takes to protect and raise their young."

This concise intro leads into plenty of examples, including groundhogs, emperor penguins, strawberry poison dart frogs, red-knobbed hornbills, polar bears, bearded capuchins, wolf spiders, little brown bats, American alligators, and more. Funny speech bubbles from moms and offspring dot each page spread. Back matter incudes superlatives for each (e.g. "super generous," "super determined," "super tough"), along with where they live, what they eat, and a "guess what?" fact. There is also a page full of resources (books, online, and AV).

Marvelous!… (més)
