It's a day to enjoy anthropomorphism – which is treating animals as people, or thinking of animals as if they have human traits or culture. Dog don't really want to dress for success, and long-haired cats aren't really interested in following the latest hairstyle trends...but some pets don't mind being dressed up, photographed, and ooohed and aahed over, and some pet owners LOVE it!
And,
according to Pet Style, today's the day for your puppy and kitty to
strut their stuff!
(Please
don't torture your pet today. If he or she hates dressing up, honor
your pet's wishes.)
Many
children's books are written about anthropomorphic animals—animals
who dress up in clothes, talk, and drive cars or go to school or
skateboard or do a million other things that humans do. Can you think
of some examples of anthropomorphic books?
Here
are some famous ones:
Beatrix
Potter books, such as Peter Rabbit
The
Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Alice
in Wonderland
The
Jungle Book
The
Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
Berenstain
Bears books
Winnie
the Pooh books
(and
many, many more)
