Rodents in Childrens Books contributed by Joanne
|
Why rodents in children's books you may ask? Simple answer - my husband and I are the proud owners of four beautiful dumbo-eared rats. We got our four girls ('does') back in March 2015. After much deliberation (which pets should we get - cats? rabbits? hamster? rats?), we decided on rats. So we researched cages, food and all necessary equipment. When all this was purchased and set up, we had another choice to make: boys or girls?

The Lorax by Dr. Seuss contributed by Sonia
I am afraid I am biased, I LOVE Dr. Seuss' stories. What do I like about them? Mostly the nonsense rhyming as the story is told – sometimes it is very silly e.g Green Eggs and Ham ('Do you like green eggs and ham?' - anyone in their right mind would say no!). Also, the simple, colourful illustrations that accompany each story play as much a part as the text. The Lorax is a story with a moral... The plight of our Earth and the damage we humans can do... We start off in a desolate place... nothing grows, all is grey. The old Once-ler still lives here... let's ask him why the Lorax got lifted and taken away... The Once-ler tells us this was once a colourful place with Truffula trees growing aplenty... tufts softer than silk and sweet smelling of fresh butterfly milk. |
