Why the baby names
Because they are the first thing a three-year-old wants to know, and because half of them are surprising. A baby hedgehog is a hoglet. A baby deer is a calf, like a cow. A baby squirrel is a kitten, like a cat. Learning them is the kind of thing a child will tell you about for a fortnight.
