1. Animals Rule in Children's
Literature: Frogs and Caterpillars
and Bears - Oh My!

2. From very hungry caterpillars and penguins for every day
of the year to the Kingdom of Frogavia, animals rule in
children's literature. Whether used to teach numbers,
colors, or more subtle lessons of morality, animals are the
perfect vehicles for conveying tangible and intangible
concepts in an entertaining way.

3. The unique not-quite-human yet not-quite-animal
characters in the classic Dr. Seuss tales, paired with
allegories about honor and even disarmament, set the
stage for the next generation of children's books and
entertainment. Endearing creatures from Sesame Street
(what is a Snuffleupagus, anyway?) and puppets from Mr.
Rogers' Neighborhood created a world of make believe
that children could call their own.

4. In children's literature, the story is often secondary to the
lavish illustrations. "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," for
example, wouldn't be nearly as compelling without Eric
Carle's illustrations. Likewise, "If You Give a Mouse a
Cookie" is clever, but Felicia Bond's illustrations make the
book a children's classic.

5. Kristin Zambucka's "Frog Knights" and "Frogavia!
Frogavia!" are perfect examples of books that consist of
both lavish illustrations and compelling tales. In the first
book, frog characters live in their own frog world - the big
pond known as The Kingdom Of Frogavia. The true frog
king is unseated from his ancient throne and banished to a
far, distant pond by an evil ruler. As his bullying and
tyrannical rule stretch on, the Frogavian people grow
increasingly restless and unhappy. Finally, a group of brave
young rebels rise up and go in search of their true king.
They eventually find him and he dubs them chivalry frog
knights in gratitude for their loyalty. The king, along with a
frog queen and frog princesses, return to Frogavia and
right the wrongs of the evil ruler. In the second book, the
story progresses, with one of the chivalry frog knights

6. Zambucka's books are more whimsical than, say, Mary
Pope Osborne's Magic Tree House series or Tony Abbott's
Secrets of Droon series, but capture the magic of
childhood while imparting nuggets of wisdom. The
whimsy and appeal of the characters is that they come
from the animal kingdom.

7. There's no doubt that creatures are central to today's
children's literature. Whether completely imaginary, such
as those in "Where the Wild Things Are," or real, as are
those in "365 Penguins," or a little of both, as in "Frogavia!
Frogavia!", kids are captivated by animals that cause the
imagination to soar.
