Introduction

eading is a good way of getting knowledge. It should be introduced inearly childhood, hence it becomes a habit in people's lifestyle. To encourage child,ren

to love reading, we provide interesting stories in a fable series. We believe that animal

kingdom stories have their own attractiveness to amuse children with fantastic sto-

ries. Thus, children are also encouraged to build their ovrn fantasies, to open their

mind to knowledge and different views, and to have in their soul good moral values

that are always enriching every story.
