Children’s books often entertain and educate young readers with stories and illustrations of animals. Sometimes the animals depicted are realistic in appearance and the lesson or message is made with the circumstances and surroundings. In others the animals are cartoonish, having human like characteristics. Anthropomorphism—attributing human characteristics to animals—is very popular. As a result, there is a generation of young adults that have very unrealistic attitudes toward animals and their place in the food chain and social order.
