Review By JENNIFER KALI I like the idea of this book. Eight-year-old Amanda uses her IMAGINATION to pretend that she is president. When she is president, she and her dog Coolidge will have the run of the White House, attending state dinners and meeting with the troops. She won’t have any problems with public speaking, because as [...]

Standing Up to Mr. O.
February 19th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Books
Review By CAROLYN M. MULLIN If I had the chance to modify the lyrics to The Sound of Music’s My Favorite Things, I’d be sure to list “finding random children’s animal rightsy books at the library” as one of them. I just recently scored this little literary nibble. Claudia Mills’ Standing Up to Mr. O. [...]

Kids Making a Difference for Animals
October 19th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Books
Review By CAROLYN M. MULLIN When talking to kids about animals, something I like to ask them is how they can help creatures big and small. “I can be a veterinarian.” “I adopted my dog from the shelter.” These are the more common responses. But in Kids Making a Difference for Animals, readers will be [...]

In a genre of hard-to-find vegetarian and vegan children’s books (more specifically, chapter books), Anne Fine’s The Chicken Gave it to Me is a score.

Farmer Duck
April 30th, 2010 · No Comments · Books
Review By CAROLYN M. MULLIN Poor, poor Farmer Duck! He irons. He gardens. He even does the dishes. Duck has been picking up the “real” farmer’s slack while the sloth lies in bed, munching on chocolates. Bleary eyed and exhausted from all his (or her… gender really isn’t used for the animals) multitasking, Farmer Duck [...]

The Lion and the Mouse
December 16th, 2009 · No Comments · Books
Review By JESSICA ALMY Jerry Pinkney’s new book is a visual treat, using stunning illustrations to retell Aesop’s fable. Using only the occasional sound, Mr. Pinkney’s storybook lends itself to an interpretation that supports and reinforces animal rights. The gist is this: the lion spares the mouse and the mouse frees the lion from a [...]

The Unicorn at the Manger
December 10th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Books
Review By JESSICA ALMY Vegetarian Christians can take comfort in Roger L. Robbennolt’s The Unicorn at the Manger: Yearlong Stories of the Holy Night. While animals are relegated to the role of a living backdrop in some traditional nativity tales, the Rev. Robbennolt puts them front and center, exploring how the animals interact with [...]
