Jennings · Answer 2

Answer: The elements that would appeal to children in this story are the animal characters, the conflict and the moral or lesson. Children might be more interested in elements that are widely known among them and aren't very complex to understand. Therefore, the presence of a dog, the journey itself and the actions made by the dog are easier to understand and visualize.
