Recommended by Booklist "for young animal enthusiasts and classroom audiences," the series emphasizes respect for the animals and their habitats. Children interact with animals of all kinds from around the globe, while learning about each one.

We produced this series by request from many users of our "Art Lessons For Children" series. The series was developed for use by both children and adults to learn to draw simple shapes, nature, people and animals. This series is one of our most popular!

This series is based on the belief that all children have natural creative talents waiting for expression. There are three to four lessons on each title. In each lesson, the artist/teacher shows step-by-step how to create beautiful and individual art.

With her scarlet macaw, rose-haired tarantula, squirrel monkey, iguana, and boa constrictor, Karla explains how such inhabitants of the Amazon rainforest help to keep their environment healthy and thriving.

Children in Karla's audience see, touch, and hold various farm animals, such as bunnies, chicks, and ducklings. They also meet a baby goat and a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig. Observing from a nearby corral is a miniature horse.

Using various bugs, like millipedes and cockroaches, Karla discusses their behavior and characteristics. Children touch and hold a rose-haired tarantula and an emperor scorpion, and they also learn about predators of "creepy critters," such as frogs.

Meet some of today's zoo animals that share a variety of common features with dinosaurs, including several breeds of chickens, an emu, a Catalina macaw, leopard geckos, a Chinese water dragon, and a black and white tegu.
