Foxes, owls, puppies and lions take the leading roles across this collection of animal stories, one set aside for every day of the year.
Each tale is short, with a small problem and a resolution that usually turns on kindness, courage or thinking before acting. Animal characters let those ideas land without turning the story into instruction, which is why the form has lasted as long as it has. Colour illustrations run alongside the text, and the daily structure gives parents an easy way to keep a bedtime routine going without hunting for a new book each week.
In this treasury:
• An animal story for each day of the calendar year.
• Short plots that resolve within a few minutes of reading.
• Gentle lessons carried by animal characters rather than stated outright.
• Illustrated pages throughout the collection.
For preschool and primary-age children, for parents reading at bedtime and for classroom story corners; published by OM Books and available from Boipoka.
