|summary=Bringing important issues such as race and disability to a child’s attention is a vital thing for any parent to do if they want their child to understand the world better. Why does that person look different and should I be scared? The answer is obviously no, but how is a child supposed to know this? Books are a great way of explaining diversity without making the lesson too preachy or obvious. Perhaps a story about a mermaid who, when out of the water, is in a wheelchair?

|summary=Can I introduce you to the Ally-Topus? He’s ''powerful enough to drag a man in to water'', likes to ''hover over fragrant flowers'' but seems to be ''extremely shy'' and ''almost impossible to keep in captivity''. Sound familiar? Maybe it would help to describe the accompanying picture – an alligator’s head, a bird’s body and a platypus tail. Still don’t recognise him? Maybe we can try another animal. What about the Pleevillar? The By-Tollar? No? I’d best stop there. There are one thousand creatures in ''Remarkable Animals'' so we could be here rather a long time.
