How are animals portrayed in popular children's stories?

Well, animals in stories can be symbols too. A snake might symbolize evil or danger in many stories. And a dove is often associated with peace. Their physical characteristics are also used to create certain images. Big, strong animals like bears can be seen as protectors or forces to be reckoned with in the story world.

Bears are quite popular. For example, in 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears', the bears are central to the story. Rabbits are also common, like the White Rabbit in 'Alice in Wonderland' who leads Alice on her strange adventures. And of course, wolves often appear, such as in 'Little Red Riding Hood' where the big bad wolf is the villain.

Animals in Telugu stories are often given human - like qualities. For example, a fox might be portrayed as cunning and sly, using its wits to outsmart others. The dog is usually shown as loyal, standing by its master through thick and thin.

Some common animals in popular children's stories are dogs, like in 'Where the Red Fern Grows'. There are also cats, for example in 'The Cat in the Hat'. And of course, wolves are often seen, as in 'Little Red Riding Hood'.

The story of 'The Three Little Pigs' is very popular. Three little pigs build their own houses, one with straw, one with sticks, and one with bricks. The big bad wolf tries to blow down their houses but only the brick house stands firm.

Often, wolves are shown as big and bad, scary creatures that are out to cause trouble for the main characters.

Animals can be incorporated into children's stories by basing the entire setting around them. For instance, a story could be set in a forest full of different animals, each with their own unique personalities and habits. You could have a mischievous monkey that always gets into trouble, a gentle deer that is everyone's friend, and a grumpy bear that the other animals try to cheer up. This creates a whole world of adventure and learning for children.

They are often portrayed as victims. For instance, in news reports about shootings, children are shown as the helpless ones caught in the crossfire.

In children's stories about factory life in the early 1900s, children were depicted as having no real childhood. They were made to work like adults from a very young age. They were small and frail, yet they had to carry out tasks that were difficult for their little bodies. They were also shown as being very tired all the time, with sad expressions on their faces, as if they had lost all hope for a better life.

Winged characters are usually shown as having special abilities. Angels can protect people, and flying creatures like Pegasus can take characters on exciting adventures. They are also depicted with a sense of grace, flying effortlessly through the air in the stories.
