This fully illustrated children's picture book tells three simple tales about respect for and the kind treatment of all animals on earth. The first story is Ten Tongue-Tying Tales of Tenderness about medieval characters actively protecting and caring for animals in need. It is also a counting story from one to ten. Next comes Kids Care, a brief alphabet of ways that kids can show they care about animals, from A to Z. Lastly, there is The Cozy House That Jack Built, a nonviolent alternative to the old rhyme The House That Jack Built. It was written as an homage to the philosophy of live and let live, for in it the people and animals share a cozy home. This picture book can help children think about all the animals in their lives and how to help those around them. As with all of Barbara's other original full color illustrated picture books, this book concludes with a bonus draw and tell story which shares the book's theme. In this case it is the theme of compassion for all living things. The book also includes instructions and a big traceable drawing to help any novice learn how to use this traditional storytelling technique to successfully tell a draw and tell story. Draw and tell stories are simple stories for young children. These drawing tales are very easy to use and require no special materials or experience. As each draw and tell story is told, its characters and objects are sketched onto a single sheet of paper, while children look on. These simple elements build up on the drawing until, by the time the story ends, a composite picture representing the subject of the story has emerged, much to the children's delight. The draw and tell form of storytelling is great for parents, teachers and children's librarians. Author Barbara Freedman-De Vito has been creating and using draw and tell stories for many years in her work as a children's librarian, freelance storyteller, teacher and workshop leader.
