IMHO - Jonny Gorden has a two volume book called Cartoon Character Creation by Wordware that is by far the most informative books on what you need to know. It includes everything from what morphs you need to how to create them. So if you're interested in animation, I would call this the animators bible. It is very intense, but he does a good job of walking you through the many steps to create and animate a character. it includes files and scenes to help you too. It uses Lightwave eight and there is a plugin that won't work in version nine (for me), but the concepts are sound and I think you will walk away with a solid understanding of animation.
