    Hmm… not that I know such things but I think kids have a natural fascination with animals. Go along the path that works.

      This sounds likely. I’d have to imagine at that stage of life the very concept of learning how to learn something for the first time is monumental.

      What they’re learning isn’t as important as learning something for the first time. Since animals are so interesting, it sounds like a reasonable thing to start with.

      I imagine it also has to do with establishing and reinforcing the concept that “things make noises and so can you”
