Stories & Poems - National Geographic Kids Animal Stories : Heartwarming True Tales from the Animal Kingdom

Amazing animal stories that span the centuries come to life in this beautifully written and illustrated book.

A collection such as this comes along only once in a generation, full of heart-warming tales that families will read, re-read, and remember.
