AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This collection includes stories on many different animals. The stories nearly always include a lesson to be learned. For instance, Little Elephant teaches Big Elephant how much better brains are than brawn. Other tales include a kind Koala who stops his expedition many times to help other animals, Quail who can never make up his mind, and the small Gorilla who refuses to eat his carrots.' (Source: Preface)
