Jus t a rr iv ed

I have just been born.

I cannot see or hear.

I have no fur to

keep me warm.

I snuggle in a cozy nest with

my brothers and sisters.

Ye M[W _

Ou t o f t h e ne s t

I am two days old

Fine black hair is

growing over my pink skin.

My eyes and ears

are still closed.

Where am I?

I am lost.

Ou t o f t h e ne s t I squeak as loudly as I can until my

mother hears me She will carry

me home.

M y f r st cr aw l

My mother watches me

as I explore I sniff everything I fnd.

I am two weeks old My eyes

are open At last I can see

and hear I can walk too.

M y f r st cr aw l

Now I am going back to my nest for a nap It has been

an exciting day.

I am three weeks old My claws

are sharp and my legs are

getting strong.

I am playing in this flowerpot, but the walls are slippery.

Help! The pot is rolling away.

From here, I can see all around me.

Look! My sister is peeking out of another flowerpot.

Now I am four weeks old I spend most

of the time with my brothers and sisters.

We like to play together.

Then I clean myself

My long tail needs special care.

C l i m b in g h i g h

I am six weeks old and I am growing

stronger My brothers, sisters, and

I have climbed this branch.

We cling onto the thin branches with our claws.

C l i m b in g h i g h

Our long tails help us balance.

I sniff and twitch my nose when I smell yummy things to eat.

Fi ndi n g f o o d

Now I am eight weeks old

I like fnding my own food.

Fi ndi n g f o o d

My favorite food

is grain I hold it between my paws and nibble it with

my long front teeth.
