This small booklet is intended for children in elementary school. Probably, children from second grade through middle school would find the stories interesting. At the end of each story I have concluded with a life lesson that will relate to the story the reader has completed. Most of the stories are about small animals. However, I have included a couple of pieces that relate to families. I hope that you will enjoy the stories and the pictures that complete each story.
