When I was a child playing by the pond, I could always see a lot of small tadpoles. Groups of tadpoles are completely dense phobias. The form of the small tadpole has undergone continuous changes, and finally it has become a frog.
This developmental process of frogs is called metamorphosis. Why do I know this? I learned it in elementary school nature textbooks. Today's children have long since lost the course of nature. They have more diverse picture books and can learn more knowledge.
Today we will introduce a picture book about animal science - "Baby Factory". The book covers 15 species of animals and introduces animal habits from all angles.
By reading this book, we can learn what a family in the animal kingdom looks like, and how birds and mammals breed their cubs.
The book is written by Riz sodberg and Katie Kembael, both Swedes and freelance illustrators.
They created a unique illustration style for this book, blending realism and anthropomorphism, combining cartoon shapes with realistic animal illustrations. The overall typography is creative and lively.

This "Baby Factory" involves many animal babies that children are more concerned about. For example, Darwin frogs, emperor penguins, swans, foxes, kangaroos, elephants and so on. Of course, there are also some animals that are relatively unfamiliar to us, such as armadillos, pygmy marmosets, seahorses and so on.
Let's take a look at the differences in this book.
First, animal decryption
Do you know? Brown bear mothers can control the birth time of brown bear babies, and elephant grandmothers are the authoritative presence in the elephant herd. Rhinos socialize mainly on "open-air toilets", and hippocampus dads often have to conceive babies alone.
The most frightening thing is that when the spider mother is mating, sometimes hungry she will eat the spider father. I suddenly felt a chill, which reminded me of the fact that a praying mantis was going to eat its mate.
Sure enough, in the animal world, it is still necessary to be more careful about finding a mate.
Second, new tricks of parenting
Darwin's baby frog jumped out of the frog's father's mouth. Kangaroo mothers can have babies of different ages at the same time, and do not need to wait until the big independence to conceive the small ones. In this way, kangaroos are similar to us humans, and the age of children can be freely controlled.
Nine armadillos give birth to 4 identical and gendered armadillo babies. You read that right, it's the ancient divine beast we saw in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Unexpectedly, in the real world, there are really armadillos.
Third, interesting trivia
For each animal chapter, there are fun trivia modules. This is an expanded knowledge added on the basis of animal science popularization. In this small knowledge module, we are introduced to a lot of interesting scientific knowledge.
From the development process of frogs to the delayed implantation of brown bear mothers, to the biological concepts of identical twins and fraternal twins of armadillos, this is biological enlightenment knowledge for young children.

In the book "Baby Factory", the two illustrators use a bold contrast method. The impactful contrast collage design attracts children while allowing them to accurately understand animals.
In each chapter, the animals are anthropomorphized, showing more detail. At the same time, it reflects the fun of art, which invisibly cultivates the aesthetics of children's lives.
I was most impressed by these illustrations than Mr. Fox, sitting on a tree stump. Holding the baby in one hand and the coffee in the other, leisurely. The message conveyed to me by this illustration is that Mr. Fox has no trouble with a baby at all.
What Mr. Fox has is only the infinite beauty of life, and taking a baby is an integral part of its happiness. If in real life, dads can take their children like this, it must be cool.
"Baby Factory" not only tells us the little-known secret of animal breeding, but also has a national environmental protection printing logo, which reassures us parents.
Animal mothers love their babies, and so do human mothers. Green printing products, children read more at ease.
You see, baby animals are waving to the children, let's make a friend together.
