About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a high-energy, imaginative mood or when you want to encourage physical play and empathy through role-play. It is a perfect choice for the transition between active playtime and a winding-down period, as it validates a child's natural desire to move and explore their world through different lenses. My Favorite Animal follows Penelope, a girl who spends her day embodying the traits of various animals. From the heavy treading of a bear to the quiet hiding of a mouse, the story uses Penelope's imagination to teach children about animal behaviors while celebrating her own creativity. It is ideal for ages 3 to 6, providing a wonderful model for how play can be both a physical outlet and a way to connect deeply with the natural world.
