From ancient times to the present day, people have been telling stories about animals.
Bob Hartman is no exception. Over his many years as a professional storyteller, he has told stories about a menagerie of creatures - big and small, tame and scary, real and mythical.
The Lion Storyteller Book of Animal Tales features some of his favourites. This collection contains over 35 retellings - well-loved traditional tales, little-known legends, and several original stories. These entertaining tales are drawn from all corners of the globe and feature a wide variety of animal characters.
Yet this is more than just a collection of animal stories, for many of these fun-filled retellings will also inspire children to think about right and wrong.
