'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.'
