What you'll find is that it's filled with beautiful stories to go along with the paintings. Each one, by telling a story of animal behavior, shows that animals must have feelings, too. There is the story of a hippo trying to save a deer nearly drowned by a crocodile. There is a story of a dog and a lion who would sleep snuggled up together until one day they grew up and realized they were of a different species. There's even a first-person story by the author about when he thought he could walk up to a wild elephant and befriend it--only to find that it was wild and it charged him.
This book will touch your heart, and you'll look at animals with a new compassion and sensibility. Pick it up, read one story, and then come back later. You'll be amused and charmed each time. Filled with lessons gracefully told, the book sets children on the path of compassion towards animals.
