animal antics

When I was growing up my parents used to read to us kids out of a 3 book series entitled Character Sketches...it had in-depth stories about animals, the personality traits they exhibit and the comparisons they had with specific biblical men and women. Since I adore animals and revel in my kitty cats, I really liked the unique animal perspectives presented. I have used these books and done my own research in teaching my children, sharing full colored pictures, giving coloring pages to kiddos and offering ways that we can learn from and imitate each animal. Children are enamored with animals, with their variety of bodies, characteristics, talents...and this is a perfect way to engage them in the diversity which is life!
