I have read some of her books and like her idea of teaching children all over the world about environmental conservation and wild animal care so much that I hope to do it personally one day‚ too. As the greatest and most popular scientist of chimpanzees in the world and today also an

An Analysis of Jane Yolen’s “Fat is Not a Fairytale” In the free verse poem‚ Fat Is Not a Fairy Tale‚ the poet opens with the idea of a fairy tale in which the princess is overweight.
