There are lots of animal tales at the library!! But, not all tales about animals are true! These tales are called fiction. Fiction can be based on real facts about animals, but the tales (stories) are made up by the author. In fiction tales, animals are able to talk, and behave as humans do! The tales about animals that are true are called nonfiction. Nonfiction tales provide facts and details about animals, how they live and survive, and their habitats.

Join DASEF at the library to get deTAILed facts about animals and their tails, create a new animal with a specialized tail, do some “ZOO-ineering” to design zoo habitats for animals with tails, and write a fiction tale about what it would be like if YOU had a tail!!
