Some animal fathers guard, carry, shelter, and protect their young in surprising ways.
Just Us Two presents eleven poems from the point of view of animal dads and their babies, including emperor penguins, Nile crocodiles, and giant water bugs. The poems range from quiet to rowdy, showing that care in the animal world can look very different from species to species.
This book is a warm introduction to animal parenting, blending poetry with nature observation. Joyce Sidman gives each father and child pair a distinct voice, helping readers think about family, protection, and survival beyond the human world. It is a strong choice for children who enjoy animal books, science topics, and poems that bring real creatures vividly to life.
