I am currently reviewing a wonderful series of books that will be of interest to parents of young children and animal lovers. My choice of subject matter for our DVD series “A World of Animals Just for You” was of course very deliberate. Reason number one is that all kids love animals. What better way to engage them in learning anything than with a favorite topic. Reason number two is that as parents we have a responsiblity to help our children understand that we are one of many different kinds of creatures living on Earth. Those other creatures are just as deserving as we are of safe homes and good food.

Back to the books I mentioned. The series is Pebble Plus, Under the Sea published by Capstone Press. I have nine titles, which include Rays, Manatees, Walruses, Eels, Sponges, Lobsters, Sea Urchins, Squids and Puffer Fish. You can tell just by the titles how much fun it is to introduce young children to this menagerie of characters. They are hard bound books with very large gorgeous photographs and simple text for very beginning readers. I have read these books to a group of 2+ year olds at Elizabeth’s Early Learning Center here in Lynchburg, VA. They loved them.
