The poem is a useful tool for communicating attributes of some of the lesser known animals. ANIMAL CHILDREN invites young and old to learn about these animals in an entertaining way. The illustrations by M.T. Ross are informative and interesting, and can be used to encourage further learning (especially through observation and study of the pictures). Children can read along with the narrator by following the poem words on the screen.
