5.0 out of 5 stars Not your typical animal stories, March 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Animalia (Paperback)
Where do I begin? First, the illustrations are breathtaking. Then there are the stories - wonderful vingettes with real substance, not the light fare usually rampant in children's animal books. Each with a lesson, but none preachy. They are short enough to hold the attention of the youngest child, but at the same time, complex enough to hold mom and dad's interest too. My daughter appreciates the true beauty found in this book. Please note: two of the stories may upsetting to young children. Both involve injuries to animals. My daughter is usually quite sensitive to anything upsetting in books, but these instances do not phase her. I think it is the beauty of the the treatment of these incidents that helps her to deal with the emotional content.

This is a wonderful collection of tales about different animals and their importance to us. The stories are well "retold" and contain wisdom we would all do well to live by. This book is a treasure and is a must have" for anyone who loves animals, children and the future of this planet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Animalia by Barbara Berger, January 2, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Animalia (Paperback)
Sumptuous artwork, lovely script, and blessedly short and poignant stories which can hold a child's interest yet capture an adult's imagination. This book is a gem which I will gift to special children in my life, while keeping one copy for myself.
