His engaging tales offer a fascinating look into a complex and beautiful place that any child may then want to explore more fully. As humanity faces the daily loss of animal species, stories that encourage young readers to learn about and respect the creatures of the natural world deserve our renewed attention and respect.Each book in this collection features a charming illustration by Harrison Cady, twenty in all, with another dozen thrown in just for fun.
