Animals generally make great characters for stories, especially in children’s literature. Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl, Black Beauty by Anna Sewell, and The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling – these are only some of the most popular stories with animal main characters. Dogs are arguably the most common type of animals used in these stories. Generally, dogs possess such a soft personality, which makes them good characters for books. Aside from dogs, however, there is also another type of animals that make great story characters – cats and kittens.
