About this ebook
It's exciting living on the coldest stretch of earth and in the Outback too! Read along as these spunky short stories for early readers take you on a trek around the globe. You'll meet some young characters like Wiley and Wynter, and their adored animal companions, Mr. Bark the dog and Beau the horse. Peek into their lives and even learn a few words in their languages! Find out why our characters on every continent are so thankful to their creature friends, and learn about the many gifts these animals provide.
Gifts of the Animals includes everything kids love — new friendly faces, greetings from around the globe and appreciation for the precious provisions of our animal companions.
