Some of the lessons I don't think were valid lessons at all. The lesson at the bottom says:’Nothing is harder to resist than a bit of flattery.’ She understood the story and she thought it was funny too. The niece enjoyed the story about a Rhinoceros out shopping for a new dress. There were several stories he liked in here. I think the nephew missed that important point. No one would invite the pelican over because he was so messy. I don't think he got the point of the story. He still can make a mess, but he is better now. The nephew loved the pelican who is a mess at dinner. The kids thought some of these were funny and some of the stories were boring. The artwork is lovely and focuses on the heart of the story. This is a long book that is a lot to read in one setting, but better spread over a few nights. There is a lesson in each one and the lessons are written at the bottom of the page for each story. Arnold Lobel has written his own fables, one page stories, in this collection.
