National
Wildlife Federation and the Benefactory
to Work Together
In Summer, 2001, The Benefactory, Inc.
will publish a new collection designed for
younger readers (age 5-7), under a license

Wildlife Federation. These wonderful
new books will be a part of the Eggsplore

Hundreds
of New Animal Rights Websites
As
more and more people find their way to the
internet, more and more organizations are
posting websites. One of the best ways to
locate a wide variety of the animal related
sites is by going to World
Animal Net.
The
Benefactory publishes quality, true children's
books about companion animals. While the
books themselves are entertaining and convey
important messages, they are enhanced by
audio tapes and plush toys of the animals
featured in the stories.

The
teachers and parents were amazed at the
quality of the books and stuffed animals.
And everyone is talking about how beautifully
illustrated the books are. Thank You!

This
charming children's book about his [Caesar's]
rough start in life will re-inspire anyone
who has ever championed an underdog. Loren
Spiotta-DiMare's book, with its unspoken
lesson about the redeemable value of even
the worst-behaved among us, will endear
children of all ages.
We
particularly like the way children are helped
to understand the interconnectedness of living
things, with owls and parakeets living together.
Thank you for creating such a beautiful and
sensitive insight into some of our animal
friends. This book is a treasure.
