telling the animals story

The plot is very important. It could be about how the animals interact with each other or face challenges in their environment. For instance, a story of how birds migrate together facing various weather conditions during the journey. Another element is the setting. Whether it's a forest, a savannah or a frozen tundra, it greatly affects the story. If the story is set in a dense forest, there could be more hiding places for small animals, which can be part of the plot development.

Reindeer are very much involved as they pull Santa's sleigh. They are like the main animal characters in the part of the Christmas story about Santa delivering presents. Also, donkeys are important as they were there when Jesus was born in the nativity story. And sheep are often in the nativity scenes too.

It can make kids more interested in nature. Since animals are part of nature, when they are in stories, kids may want to know more about them and their habitats.

Involve the listeners or readers. Ask them questions during the story like 'What do you think the little mouse should do now?'. You can also let them choose the ending of the story. For example, give two options for how a lost kitten finds its way home and let them decide which one they like better. This makes the whole process of telling the animals story more interactive and thus more interesting.

Well, it can teach kids about different animal species. For example, if a cartoon shows a giraffe talking about its long neck and how it helps in reaching leaves high up in the trees, kids learn about the physical characteristics of giraffes. Also, it can teach about animal behavior. Like when monkeys are shown grooming each other, it gives an idea of their social behavior.

One great cartoon is 'Zootopia'. In this cartoon, various animals from the city (which is like a big zoo in a way) tell their stories. The main characters, like Judy Hopps, a rabbit, and Nick Wilde, a fox, have their own backstories and adventures that show different aspects of the animal society. It's not only about telling stories but also about breaking stereotypes among different animal species.

One popular theme is adventure. The zoo animals might go on an adventure together, exploring different parts of the zoo or even imagining they are in the wild. Another theme could be cooperation, showing how animals work together to solve problems.

I'm not sure as the story isn't specified, but it could be common animals like cats, dogs, and birds.

The animals are often depicted as calm and gentle. For example, the sheep are usually shown as meek and mild, while the donkey is portrayed as a patient and helpful animal that carried Mary to Bethlehem.

In an animals band story, you might find a monkey as the guitarist. Monkeys are very dexterous and can easily handle the strings. A frog could be the percussionist, making rhythmic sounds with its croaking. Also, an owl could be the pianist, using its talons to press the keys.
