I get a lot of science books in the mail and unfortunately, don’t have a chance to review most of them on the blog. I read the titles that interest me most and when you see something mentioned here, it’s a safe bet that I’ve really enjoyed it. And now I’d like to tell you about two fantastic new books by Andrew Bleiman and Chris Eastland:

ZooBorns: The Newest, Cutest Animals from
the World’s Zoos and Aquariums (for all ages)

ZooBorns! zoo babies from around the world (for young children)

These are hands down the cutest books ever to grace my shelf. For those who need a surge of oxytocin, it’s impossible to pick up either one without smiling ear to ear. ZooBorns partnered with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and Simon & Schuster to develop ZooBorns (for all ages) and ZooBorns! (for young children). Both are loaded with interesting facts and stories on featured animals and teach readers–young and old– about conservation. On top of that, a portion of the proceeds go directly to the AZA Conservation Endowment Fund. With the holidays around the corner, Zooborns will make an excellent an gift for any animal lover in your family!
