The Weird Animal Club
We all want to have friends. But sometimes, theres something that makes us different from others. In many cases, that can make finding friends difficult. But as author Christopher Knott-Craig, MD, shows in his book, The Weird Animal Club, that doesnt have to be the case. All the characters youll meet have a physical difference of some kind. It causes them to feel lonely and sad, until they find other animal friends who are also different. They all become friends and learn that being different means they are special, and being different is good. The Weird Animal Club teaches people of every age that differences dont matter when it comes to making friends. Friendship happened for these animals, and it can happen for you.
Bedtime Dinosaur Stories for Kids
Leslie, Peter, and Chris are seven-year-olds in rural South Africa. Theyre best friends, which means theyve been known to get into some mischief. One of their favorite pastimes is swimming in the nearby river, but one day, they find an unusual black rock with white spots. They think it must be something special, so they plan to take it to the museum. Oom Andre is the museum curator, and he knows about everything. With his help, the three young boys come to realize theyve found a fossil, and so begins their imaginary exploration of all things dinosaur! Author Christopher Knott-Craig grew up in South Africa, too, just like the heroes of this story. There were no phones or TV, so what was little Chris to do? He made up his own stories, of course, which mixed together fact and the amazing fictions of a fertile imagination. Dinosaurs have always fascinated Chris, so it has come to no surprise that his six-year-old daughter, Cate, wants to hear all about the mammoth monsters, which was how this collection of exciting bedtime stories came about!

Her pouch didn’t grow, so she looks different than the other kangaroos. But the members of the Weird Animal Club warmly welcome her into their group. A picture book for children, The Weird Animal Club Goes to School shares a story of acceptance, tolerance, empathy, and loving kindness.
