Wildlife, pets and farm animals lead this broad collection of bedtime stories. Visit a zoo, listen to bats inside a cave, follow mice preparing for Halloween or discover what different creatures eat. Some tales introduce simple facts and animal sounds; others give their characters human-sized problems involving courage, sharing or home. Reading times range from brief baby stories to long animal adventures.
