"This pint-sized package is brimming with the immeasurable love that mothers have for their young throughout the animal kingdom--expessed in a collection of touchingly intimate portraits from National Geographic, the world's best in animal photography. Human mothers will delight in seeing their maternal instincts reflected in these tender photographs, each showing a mother in the wild as she nurtures, cuddles, teaches, and protects her offspring. Packed with amazing stories and fascinating facts about animal moms, and inspirational quotes that celebrate motherhood, Mother's Love- Inspiring True Stories From the Animal Kingdom is a moving tribute that recognizes the tireless devotion and selfless acts of love of moms everywhere. Whether for Mother's Day or just any old Monday, Mother's Love is a perfect way to show how much you care.

The worldwide leader in animal photography, National Geographic brings us Mother's Love- Inspiring True Stories From the Animal Kingdom, a collection of the most moving and intimate portraits of animal mothers and their babies. Each photograph shows animal moms as they nurture, play, teach, and protect their young. Sprinkled throughout are inspirational quotes (""All I am I owe to my angel mother."" -Abraham Lincoln) and unbelievable true stories of maternal heroism--like the mother duck from Vancouver who persuaded a human passerby to rescue her ducklings from a storm drain.

Page after page will touch your heart and remind us all of the valuable roles that mothers play--both in the wild and at home. A perfect gift for any budget, Mother's Love is a great way to celebrate Mother's Day, a new arrival, or any old day to show your mom how much you care."
