From the courage of Stubby the war dog to the empathy of Koko the gorilla, Little Heroes: Amazing Animals Who Changed the World is a young child's first introduction to the incredible animals who taught us that you don't have to be big (or human) to make a difference. Simple text and adorable illustrations tell the contributions of nine animals who went down in history as interspecies heroes:

• Blossom the vaccine cow


• Stubby the war dog


• Cher Ami the carrier pigeon


• Winnie the friendly bear


• Simon the seacat


• Togo the sled dog


• Able and Baker the space monkeys


• Koko the signing gorilla
