The Cabinet of Curiosities: Amazing Animals We Know

Join 10-year-old Curio as she opens more glowing drawers in the magical antique cabinet and tumbles through time to discover the surprising stories behind the animals we see and love every day!

From how dogs became our best friends and the secret life of bees, to why cats always land on their feet, the butterfly’s incredible journey, the busy world of ants, how birds learned to sing, the squirrel’s hidden treasure, the amazing return of the salmon, why spiders spin perfect webs, and how horses changed human life — each short, wonder-filled story reveals the origins, clever behaviours, and special friendships between animals and people.

Written with gentle humour and “Wow!” moments, inspired by James Burke’s Connections. Perfect for curious kids aged 7–12, bedtime read-aloud, and sparking big questions about the animals around us.
