About This Book

A short collection of rhymed, narrative verses for children that present animal fables illustrating cautionary lessons. One piece follows two rats whose outing ends in unexplained disappearance; another recounts a conceited pig who repeatedly ignores maternal warnings and ultimately falls into a well, dying as a consequence of pride and recklessness. The poems use simple stanzas and plain language to dramatize cause and effect, emphasizing parental counsel, the perils of vanity, and moral instruction through accessible animal scenarios.
