HI there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we’re sharing a stop along the current Rachel’s Random Resources tour starring a Children’s book that’s filled to the brim with animal antics in a way you never imagined. It’s a story that takes the animal out of the habitat and puts them in the spotlight, just were their fellow humans would have been actively pursuing their own sport filled dreams if a certain pandemic hadn’t struck. Yes, my friends, you’ve been invited with front row reading seats to the...
Animalympics

About the book...
Woodpecker Will presents the Animalympics! Whilst the humans stay indoors, the animal kingdom takes over to hold the sporting event of the century! Join the golfing ostriches, trampolining moles and weight-lifting gorillas (plus many more) in a fun rhyming adventure for all ages.

That’s right!
It’s time for the Olympics, only this time the animals take center stage as they show us and each other just what they’ve got! Imagine the cheetahs in the sprint! Take a closer look at a surfing dolphin! Just think what your average house cat could do to a floor routine or on the balance beam! This fascinating and wide array of animals get their chance to shine in events that only humans have dominated...at least until now...and why shouldn’t they! They’ve got talent, they’ve got skill, and with most of us in quarantine, self-imposed or otherwise, they’ve got free run of the place….and after they have the BLAST that they have this time around, there’s only one thing left for them to do. Plan a WINTER version next!
All in all, it was a fun look at what could be for our fur, feathered, and otherwise adorned animal friends. It reminds us that animals are so much more than what we at times realize, and teaches great lessons in sportsmanship, team spirit, and friendly competition...all while dazzling the eye with colorful graphics filled to the brim with animalistic personality!
