Social issues/character building
Read an excerpt from “The Gym Class” here.
Come with us to Forest Glen where you’ll meet a delightful group of young animals who deal with many of the same issues human children face. The situations may be serious but the animals resolve them with humor, learning some important lessons along the way. Children will love the animals and gain some important lessons about life.
In “The Bully” a talented chicken almost loses her chance to win a drawing contest to a very large dog. When a couple of friends realize what’s going on it’s the dog who learns the lessons. (Of course there’s no violence!)

In “The Cook-Off” our animal friends prepare their favorite foods for the Pelican Bay students. There are some delightfully funny scenes as the preparations go any way but right. The results may not be what they wanted but the lessons learned about honesty and dependability taste good.
