it turns out that baby fish just look like adult fish but smaller. while mammals, birds, and even some reptiles are extremely cute to humans as babies, fish are slightly too far away from us evolutionarily for it to be as pure of a connection. not a complaint, just something interesting I noticed now that I’m a connoisseur of animal baby board books. I’ve always been a coward about this kind of thing though so who knows. I still really want a Bug Babies board book even though it would have the same effect.
