What if animals did what YOU do? This adorable story by Ann Whitford Paul and David Walker imagines how animals would show kindness!
If animals tried to be kind. . .what would they do? Porcupine would knit Giraffe a long scarf. Squirrel would help Dog diggity-dig for a bone. And Bear would surprise Snake with a honey cake. Across the animal kingdom, every creature would be kind in their own special way.

About the author

ANN WHITFORD PAUL graduated from the University of Wisconsin and Columbia University School of Social Work. She became inspired to write picture books after years of bedtime reading to her four children. Now she gets story ideas from her seven grandchildren. She's published over 25 award-winning picture books, (rhymed and prose-fiction and nonfiction) poetry, early readers, and a book for adults about how to write picture books. When she isn't writing, she loves listening to her cat purr, watching spiders spin their webs, and following snails' trails.
You can learn more about her, download writing tips and classroom activities, and contact her through her web-site: www.annwhitfordpaul.com.
