The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi
CBR14BINGO: Monster Square (Kaiju=monster for the most part but a handful of monstrous people involved as well.

Beneath the Trees: First Spring by Dav
The kid (or warthog) is a typical kid/hog in Beneath the Trees: First Spring by Dav. Not too bright, but curious (and that is not a negative comment, just an observation as babies do not have the intellect to understand things and have informed knowledge of the world around them).
