Animal Beauty Read Free Books and Download eBooks
A hilarious story with an important message When an elephant in the city zoo picks up a beauty magazine, she makes a horrifying discovery: her wrinkles make her look ancient! After covering herself with anti-aging cream, she passes the magazine on to the other animals in the zoo. Soon the panda is trying to get rid of the dark circles under his eyes, the lion is getting the latest celebrity hairstyle, and the boa constrictor is dressing in leopard print (snakeskin was so last season). But how will people react to the animals’ new looks? This zany, satirical picture book addresses body image issues and reminds readers to appreciate themselves for who they are.

It all starts when a zoo elephant finds a beauty magazine. "According to the beauty experts", the elephant learns just how unsightly wrinkles are. So naturally the elephant uses wrinkle removing cream. Zebra is so impressed, she borrows the beauty magazine and finds that horizontal stripes have become passé. One by one, all the zoo animals borrow the magazine and follow the "expert" advice. Soon, the zoo-goers are unhappy, since the animals no longer look anything like they're supposed to.Animal Beauty is a funny and imaginative take on what "beauty" should be. The illustrations are so colorful, full of action and adorably cute, they'll surely capture and hold a child's attention. There's a valuable lesson contained within this book. This can be used as a conversation starter for teaching children how we're all beautiful in our own unique way. I love children's books that have positive messages and this is certainly one of them. I would highly recommend Animal Beauty to parents, grandparents, caregivers and teachers.eBook Review Gal received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
