History is full of weird but true stories! Lindsay Metcalf & Edwin Fotheringham do a fantastic job sharing this one with young readers. I particularly like Fotheringham's visualization of the court debate. Unique. Age appropriate. Fun to read!

By teaching children about the Wildlife and Animals that live around us, we can help them develop respect for all forms of life. Understanding that we share this planet with other living creatures can also help children develop empathy and compassion for others #wildlife #nature #children #bluesky 🦔
