Children’s Animal Storybooks
Children seem to have an innate eagerness and joy to pet and play with animals. Connecting with animals teaches them compassion, tenderness, empathy, and respect for living creatures. They also teach kids about hugging, cuddling and showing unconditional love. Kids are also enamored with storybooks about animals as they’re captivating and warm-hearted and make them feel all fuzzy inside. Here are a few new animal storybook releases that the kiddo’s in my family have enjoyed.
