Sisters and Brothers: Sibling Relationships in the Animal World by Steve Jenkins, Robin Page; Houghton Mifflin, April 2008

Ages 4-8

The award winning team of Steve Jenkins and Robin Page are at it again with Sisters & Brothers: Sibling Relationships in the Animal World. Did you know that nine-banded armadillos are always born as identical quadruplets; peregrine falcons practice their hunting dives on their siblings; and Nile crocodile babies cry in unison to make sure their mother pays attention? You can tell Steve Jenkins has a love for science and the natural world and his collage pictures provide the perfect touch.

Visit Steve Jenkins' website to find out more about his books. He has a wonderful page dedicated to how he makes his books and has a video showing his process- it's fantastic!
