"Creative Children Like the Animals of the World by Michelle Korenfeld is an interactive journey for kids that will encourage them to develop a good attitude toward and respect for the environment.

The collection of poems, stories, illustrations and interesting facts about animals will not only stimulate young readers to think more about the environment and make them love nature. It's a book that will bring out the creativity and aesthetic side of the young reader's imagination, and the interactive activities will keep them entertained throughout.

The book is perfect for read aloud sessions in classrooms and school libraries. It is a good book to read to kids at bedtime. The page where the child is given the opportunity to become the co-author of the book is wonderful and it will definitely help them explore their hidden creativity.

The illustrations are attractive and will enchant and capture the attention of young readers. It also promotes a lot of activities. Books like these are good to introduce to kids as they are not only informative but also educational.

Children will definitely be able to connect with the contents of the book. They will learn a lot because the book introduces them to art, science and animals in the best way possible way, making them curious to absorb more.

It is a book worth having in one's personal collection. An excellent book to encourage an appreciation of nature and the environment."

"I found the book very inspiring. I liked the combination of the stories, the poems and the places left for the children to paint. The poems are very good for the older kids and the paintings for the smaller kids. I also found the packaging very appealing with the happy colors making it exciting to read. Michelle has done an excellent job and I recommend the book to parents and teachers."

"Michelle Korenfeld's book Creative Children is a great addition to a teacher's toolbox. With many activities that help promote creative learning through art, science and environmental activities and opportunities for children to draw and create, this book can help stimulate a more creative learning."

"Our academy's curriculum is based on nature and environment. Michelle's literature and magnificent paintings carry the children every time to a different world, and challenge them to think in a new creative way about our world. The activities in the book are inspiring the children's imagination beyond our expectations. Each and every child painted his or her own unique peacock inspired by Michelle's peacock paintings with acrylic colors! Without doubt it was a great experience and concentration was longer than usual.

We're happy to say that the children are looking forward to this lesson every week: to hear how the caterpillar transformed into a butterfly, about the camouflage colors of the female peacock, and many more stories. Thank you so much, Michelle."

Creative Children Like the Animals of the World is it!

"An interactive workbook that will inspire your children's love of nature and thoughtfulness.
This 158 page, interactive workbook will inspire your children and take them on a fabulous journey of discovery. It is packed with paintings, drawings, poems and heart-warming stories. It's all based on the facts of nature, science and art.
The reader is encouraged to write their own stories, draw and color. They can use their own imaginative ideas and create their own personal experiences and personality.
The story of: 'My Uncle Angel' is a delight to read. I also liked the story of: 'Cute and Cuter' - the two caterpillars. I must also mention: 'Honey: The Bee Who Wanted To Fly' - it is a fascinating account of all the different tasks carried-out within a beehive. It will help your understanding and appreciation of the hard working queen bee, and her army of workers! - You can even learn about how you can help the endangered bee!
Obviously, there's far too much information for me to write about here! However, there is an important message for everyone, written within this delightful book! Many of the animals mentioned are in danger of extinction. I believe this book will help with your creative thinking – and growth into a creative adult and thinker. In this way, you will be made aware of the animals, plants and the fascinating variety of people in our world!
recommend this book for: parents, grandparents, and educators. The target age range is: 5 to 10 years; although, there is something of interest for all ages, in this thought-provoking and endearing book."
