What if animals gave each other gifts, helped stop teasing, and brought food for elderly friends? Porcupine is making a scarf for giraffe, lion is helping wildebeest who is being teased by hyena, squirrel is helping dog dig for his bone and cat is sharing her bed with mouse, purring him to sleep. Animal pairs are shown being kind and helpful in different ways in Paul’s rhyming picture book. The illustrations are adorable, each animal appears very cuddly and friendly as they practice kind acts. 

If Animals Tried to be Kind is a wonderful way to help younger students identify kind acts, what empathy looks like, being a friend, making and giving a gift for fun and helping those in need. Adorable illustrations will keep the children attentive and focused. A great book for a gift and helpful for pre-school to K. If Animals Tried to Be Kind is part of a series of seven books.
