Serendipity (book series)
- Serendipity (book series)
"Serendipity" is a series of children's books about fictional animals. The stories have a strong moral perspective. First released in 1974, they were written by Stephen Cosgrove (b. July 26, 1945) and illustrated by Robin James.
The animals of Serendipity include normal animals such as bears, cats, dogs, horses and rabbits, and other animals, including sea creatures. There also are fantasy creatures, such as unicorns and dragons, and other odd-looking creatures.
"The Stories and Lessons". The stories told in this series teach children important lessons because they are based on real-life situations. These books present moral issues that kids have to deal with in life, such as Lessons of Life, Growing Up, Handicap, Abuse, Fear, Friendship, Prejudice, Gossip, and Helping the Environment.
The book series was adapted into a 26-episode anime series titled "Serendipity the Pink Dragon".
