Often we see animals close to a busy road and wonder why are they putting themselves in danger? Roads lead us to many places and are quite helpful in our travels. Unfortunately, this same beneficial road is also a very dangerous place for animals. Why are animals crossing the road, many times slowly and without care? This book answers those questions and reveals some of the possible reasons an animal is near the road. Whether it is to go home, get food, or simply get a drink, this book shows children all these reasons and more. Teach your children to have empathy for animals at a young age so when they are older they have an understanding and patience for animals that tread near a perilous road.
