To książka o zwierzętach, bo poznawania zwierząt nigdy dość, ale to też książka o tym, że każdy z nas jest inny. Może być punktem wyjścia do rozmowy z dziećmi o tolerancji. A tej trzeba uczyć jak najwcześniej! Ta mała książeczka to świetna okazja do przyjrzenia się zwierzętom z różnych stron świata. Znajdziecie w niej piękne portrety zwierzaków dobrze znanych i lubianych: psa, kota i jeża, ale także egzotycznych: mandryla, pandy czerwonej i goryla. Książka zachęca do szukania różnic i podobieństw między zwierzętami. Dowiecie się z niej także skąd pochodzą i do jakiej rodziny należą. Warto poprzyglądać się czym różnią się zwierzęta w jednej rodzinie, ale też spróbować odnaleźć ich cechy wspólne. To zaproszenie do bycia razem z dziećmi, do głośnego zadawania pytań o różnice, które sprawiają, że świat jest bardziej różnorodny i piękny. Każde stworzenie jest inne, ale wszystkie są fascynujące.
