The book has a lion on the cover and one of the 30 animals featured is a lion, so that made may daughter especially happy since lions are her favorite animals. She enjoyed the other animals too. After we finished reading the other night, I went into the other room and I heard her yell, "Mommy, come and look at the naked rat." She was referring to the last animal in the book, the naked mole rat.

The settings, characters and landscapes in each book portray the stunning Mexican traditions and heritage. The magic that helps the Cinderella heroine is not always in the form of a fairy godmother with a wand, but often is magic emanating from human kindness, dedication and hard work. In addition, mystical creatures create unexpected twists to the traditional Cinderella fairy tale.

Those of us in this group want to introduce our children to spirituality, but outside of any particular religious context. A good way to do this is through books. This article lists picture books for children 3-9 years old that cover spiritual themes such as gratitude, compassion, connectivity, and contemplation, outside of any single religious tradition.

The first thing readers will notice are the illustrations, which are filled with rich orange and green colors; nature-filled scenery with lovely smiling faces, healthy women that seem to have a good relationship, and a cozy home.
