From the fearful to the fearless, from the small to the large, from the fast to the slow, from the selfish to the giving, from the clever to the simple, from the beauty to the beast, animals of all sorts grace the pages of this lovely collection. Ten tales are included, accompanied by lavish watercolor illustrations, that range from naturalistic to fantastic. Modern tales and old favorites alike are included; and their lessons are readily identifiable by children. (All ages)
