Animal Stories are stories for children who are growing up, and for adults who never grew up. The central theme of each story is an animal, from whom we have learned little, and whose wisdom we dispel. The message of each story could be straight forward and simple, or more subtle, as indeed life’s messages are, and even at times a mystery.
