Do you remember when you were younger looking with admiration at all sort of animals? Animals are amazing. Everybody loves them (well, most of us), but children seem to be particularly enamoured with fuzzy, little faces. Maybe they love them so much because a lot of them are as small as they are, and perhaps because animals are so interestingly different. I really can’t explain it, but I do know that the fascination is sincere. For the longest time my daughter’s favorite books have been ones that have featured animals and stories about them. Animal books were all she wanted to read for a long time, and they are still her favourite. The first animal books that she looked at were simple picture books. All she wanted was to look at the different animals and see what they can do or where they live. Though her most favorite animal books were the ones about animals that she could see every day, I have found that she is now more interested in the ones that we don’t see. She wants to visit Australia and look at a real koala bear. She often likes to pretend she is a koala, and when you ask her what her favorite animal is she might say a baby kangaroo, which she calls a Joey. She started enjoying animal books that come with a story as she got older. Perhaps it is easier for her to use her imagination with animals as opposed to human beings. I’m not really sure. This could be the reason why stories like Mickey Mouse are so popular from generation to generation. The way to learn about human interaction because they show animals in a very human way. No matter how old your children might be, they will probably love any animal books you give them. As they get older the books need to be more than story books, of course, but people of all ages always loved animals. You don’t have to buy them animal books that have an educational value, but there is certainly no harm in doing so. If children keep reading about animals, they will only know more about them and the world they live in, and the more respect they are going to give animals and people in the future. Wich is a really good thing for the young generation to learn. I could say that the older generation could gain as well from this type of respectful thinking about all living creatures.
