I found this story to be a good choice when teaching a science unit on how animals protect themselves.  Examples of animals you can study and crafts you can make for this are:

• skunk (spray),
• chameleon (change color),
• porcupine (quills),
• bird (flight),
• octopus (ink cloud),
• zebra (herds),
• turtle (shell),
• rhinoceros (horn),
• tiger (claws/teeth)

These are just a few examples to get you started!
