Three big ideas

  • Some animals are plant-eaters — cows, goats and rabbits eat grass and leaves.
  • Some are meat-eaters — lions and cats hunt other animals and have sharp teeth.
  • Some eat both plants and animals — like crows, bears and most people.

Guess. A rabbit nibbles a carrot all day. What kind of eater is it?

A rabbit eats plants like carrots and grass, so it is a plant-eater.

  • Every animal needs a home for shelter and to keep its babies safe.
  • Birds build nests, bees make hives, rabbits dig burrows, and fish live in water.
  • Some animals live with people — cows in a shed, dogs in a kennel. The right home keeps an animal safe and happy.
Be kind: We should never disturb a bird’s nest or harm an animal’s home. Every creature deserves a safe place to live.
  • Plants and animals live together and need each other. Plants give animals food and shelter.
  • Animals help plants by carrying seeds to new places and pollen from flower to flower.
  • Animals also give us milk, eggs, wool and honey. In return, we should feed them, give water, and treat them kindly.

Think. How might a sparrow help a plant?

The sparrow eats a fruit and later drops the seeds far away, where a new plant can grow. Animals are nature’s gardeners!

Where you'll see it

Cows give milk, hens give eggs and bees make honey — animals and plants on a farm work together to feed us.

A garden full of life

Butterflies and bees moving between flowers help plants make fruit and new seeds.

Pets at home

A pet dog or cat needs food, water and a safe home — caring for it teaches us kindness.

Hi! Ask me about plant-eaters, meat-eaters and animals that eat both, where animals live, or how plants and animals help each other.
