Life

 Shirley J.                              Juvenile Fiction                        Life as seen through animals' lives    

Life by Cynthia Rylant    48 pages

 Cynthia Rylant talks about life by using animals to illustrate her points.   Life starts small then grows.   She explores what it means to truly LIVE through the perspective of animals as it relates to the human viewpoint.   Whether appreciating small victories, muddling through hard times or celebrating our victories, Rylant encapsulates large difficult concepts and breaks them down to relatable small samplings presented through the behaviors of animals and told in such a way there is no mistaking whether an animal or a child experiences the idea being discussed life is beautiful.    I recommend this one for listeners up to kindergarten age.
