      <image:title>About the Books - Hi there! Recognize me? I’m a lynx.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I just came off the pages of one of the books. It’s so much fun in there! I want to get back. But I stopped to tell you about this wonderful book series. Turns out, “fun” is the best word for these books. There’s no such thing as boring in them. Our creative Creator God made some delightful animals. Books about us should be interesting, intriguing, and — well, fun. In these books you’ll learn about a living box that is an excellent swimmer. And what would you think about an animal that flies with its fingers? Or a living squirt gun that lives in the desert? Each book has stories highlighting intriguing features God gave animals. Colorful pictures of the animals brighten up the pages. And colorful maps show where the animals live. Children will have fun with the questions that follow each story. They’ll find fun, easy science experiments for learning more about the animals. These books are a great addition to any curious child’s bookshelf. Older children can read the books themselves. Younger children will enjoy being read to. Homeschoolers can use them as a supplement to science or reading curricula. But don’t be surprised when your student wants to read them just for fun. It’s so easy to praise God for animals when we see how wonderfully He made them. So dive in and HAVE SOME FUN.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About the Creator - God created animals. What else did He create?</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. (Colossians 1:15-17). In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. (John 1:1-4) Thank you Jesus for everything you made! We love you, Lord!</image:caption>
