Of the top 100 books from an animal’s point of view,
except for a limited but still familiar few,
all were the voices of animals we knew.
Of dogs and cats, there were a slew,
Of bunnies and mice way more than a few,
and many you might find at a farm or a zoo.
But I’m interested in the very unique ones too,
wonders from all over the world, aren’t you?
With over 64,000 wondrous, complex animals that, like us, are often silly, funny, beautiful, and engaging, wouldn’t it be great to introduce children to more of them?
The wonder of nature and the bonds and memories books can create between adults and children inspired me to write Animal Eyes books, my first foray into authorship.
The Animal Eyes series will explore the daily lives of Earth’s unique animals in fun, playful rhymes from the animal’s point of view. To engage and teach children ages 2-8, the eyes of each animal will be displayed on the cover and hidden somewhere on each page, and each animal will have its own web page at animaleyesbooks.com for further learning and exploration.
I hope you and your children
enjoy them! – Jerilyn Gail
