This special book asks children a simple question: How Can We Be
Kind? The answer is: by learning from the animal kingdom! Animals
demonstrate kindness and empathy towards each other, and care and
compassion can be seen all throughout the natural world. This book
shows children the ways they can be kind just like animalsare to
each other, while at the same time teaching them about the magic
and the beauty of the natural world. They can learn to be welcoming
like capybaras, who let other animals sit on top of them while they
wallow in mud. Or perhaps they might want to be like dolphins, who
guide other species to their destinations. Or maybe they would like
to work together like ants and bees, share what they have like
jackdaws or stick up for their friends like zebras. With beautiful
illustrations from Darla Okada, this beautiful picture book will
enchant and entertain children time and time again. There are facts
at the back about how each animal lives with and looks after its
fellow creatures. This sweet and thoughtful book is both a
celebration of the animal world and a manifesto for being kind in
everyday life.
Stunning photography, cool activities, reusable stickers and a
gigantic wall poster make learning fun! Walk on the wild side to
discover the stranger side of the animal kingdom. From hairless
guinea pigs and ballooning puffer fish to huge-eyed bushbabies and
brain-like sponges, you'll meet some of the most amazing creatures
on Earth! Have fun completing the activity pages packed with mazes,
find the differences, word searches, sticker scenes and more. And
don't forget to put the giant pull-out poster on your bedroom wall!
