Goldfish eggs
2
I am a newly hatched fish.
I carry around a yolk sac
that I feed on as I swim.
Adult goldfish

Rabbit
I’m a sleepy newborn rabbit.
I live in this cozy nest.
My mother made it
from straw and fur.
Newborn
6
My skin is pink, but soon soft, white
fur begins to grow. I crawl along with
my tummy close to the ground.
10
I open my eyes and I can see!
I’m starting to hear and smell things, too.
I learn to crawl, sniffing as I go.
14
I snuggle and sleep all day, dreaming of milk.
I open my eyes, but soon fall asleep again.
Eight weeks

Pony
I am a foal,
a newborn pony. This
is my mother. She feeds
me her warm milk.
18
My legs are wobbly at first,
but I grow stronger every day.
Neigh! I can even call out loud.
