Book Cover & Preview Text
Mrs.Swanson’s class was having a very serious discussion. It was about animals. “You know”, started Hakim, “I just don’t understand why real circus animals never come here.” “Me neither” , agreed Makeba. “And why don’t we have a zoo on our island? Where are the elephants, lions,bears and tigers?” These are just a few of Mrs. Swanson’s students lamenting the absence of certain events and activities which would allow them to see a variety of animals in person. Read “ANIMALS ON PARADE “ just one of 10 exciting stories found in A TREASURE CHEST OF ANIMAL ADVENTURES”. This book is unique, in that there are no pictures of any of the characters. No even the main characters of each story. That’s because each reader who owns a copy of this book becomes the Illustrator. You make the animals and children look the way you believe they should look. There is no wrong or right way to design your scenes. Just have fun! Happy drawing!
