A great perspective on the importance of animals and play in children’s lives . . . .
"Play, incorporating animistic and magical thinking is important because it:
Fosters the healthy, creative and emotional growth of a child;
Forms the best foundation for later intellectual growth.
Provides a way in which children get to know the world and creates possibilities for different ways of responding to it.
Fosters empathy and wonder." Rachel Carson
