Educational Standards

LUKE’S STORYBOOK ADVENTURE SERIES MISSION, GOALS, AND EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS

We are dedicated to improving the lives of children and animals through the human-animal bond by providing educational books, videos, games, materials, and merchandise.  Our overall Goal is to reduce the number of abandoned pets by promoting compassion toward all animals and providing community and global awareness about the conservation of wildlife, habitats, maintaining sustainability and global biodiversity.

We Believe the loss of global biodiversity and animal extinction is due to a loss of sustainability in land use/urban development, ocean exploitation, invasive species, climate change, land/air/sea polution, destruction of nature/habitat loss, and human/animal conflict. These global issues are tastefully and carefully addressed in Luke’s Storybook Adventure Series.
