Think and Respond

1 What do some newborn animals need?
2 What is the main idea of this book?
3 Which newborn animal do you think is
the hardest to care for? Explain.

Newborn Needs With a partner, study the

needs of a newborn animal that you know of.
Make a list of the newborn’s needs.

School-Home Connection Animals often live

in groups. A group of dolphins is a pod. A group
of ants is a colony. Discuss with your child the
names of other animal groups.
