Summary

From Aesop's fables to shamanic totems, animals have long captivated our hearts, minds, and imaginations, and this delightful collection of bedtime stories features irresistible creatures from around the globe. Kids will love hearing about the firefly who can't find his fire; the baby kangaroo who's ashamed he can't hop; and a condor who lives atop a temple at Machu Picchu in Peru and helps rescue a lost girl.
 
Funny, enlightening, and inspiring, these tales explore issues children encounter in daily life, from coping with shyness to managing change. “Magical Messages” at the end of each story highlight its positive message. Designed to be read either by parents to their children or by children on their own, these lovely narratives focus the child's mind, offer a soothing transition into sleep, or provide food for thought during the day.
