About This Item
New York, NY: Holiday House, 1976. Book Club (BCE/BOMC) . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Joseph Cellini (Illustrator). EX-LIB/UNCIRCULATED Copy. Text/BRAND NEW. Illustrated linen boards/NF. DJ/NF; under library mylar. So many of us equate motherhood with mothering. Here's a delightful book of male parents "mothering", as it were, in nature. The 15 outstanding fathers include the Common American Seahorse father who carries eggs in his pouch until they hatch; a father Downy Woodpecker who sits on eggs and later helps feed the young; Stickleback Fish and Siamese Fighting Fish fathers both prepare the nest, banish the female as soon as eggs are produced, hatch the eggs themselves, and, gently carry back wandering young back to the nest by mouth. Other nurturing and protective fathers include the Emperor Penguin, Gray Wolf, House Wren, White-handed Gibbon, the Common Marmoset, and various interesting toads. Superb pencil drawing by Joseph Cellini.
