Named after the founder of the nation's oldest animal welfare organization, the awards and honors will go to eleven selected books published in 2001 based on their exemplary handling of subject matter pertaining to animals and the environment. "Not only are these books great fun, but they promote a humane ethic of consideration for all living things," says ASPCA Director of Humane Education, Dr. Sheryl Dickstein Pipe, Ph.D. "The winning titles were selected on the basis of promoting appropriate behaviors and compassion and respect for all living things." The eleven winning books range in style and subject matter. Four winners in the non-fiction category include: experiencing life with Jane Goodall during her stay with an African chimpanzee community, a tale about an injured sea turtle and his rescue, a history of horses' role in society and a chronicle of the roles that dogs played during the Gold Rush Era. Five winners in the fiction category include: a blind dog that saves a girl from drowning, an adventure about children who rescue a sick elephant from a circus, a story about how people can happily coexist with wildlife, a heartwarming tale about the survival of a baby rhino and an account of how a family adopts a dog from an animal shelter. The winning book in poetry celebrates the world of tiny creatures.
