This is a set of 20 stories for kids - animal fables from Aesop and the Panchatantra tales, retold in a light and interesting style. Each story has a moral lesson, which is given in small, simple sentences by 'Uncle Bill' - and also a light verse that helps make the lesson fun and memorable.

The stories can be read aloud to small children as bed-time stories or for any occasion. Older children may enjoy reading the stories on their own.
