Generous Rabbit : And Other Animal Stories

This book contains 6 of Bob Hartmans immensely popular retellings, selected from The Lion Storyteller Bedtime Book, The Lion Storyteller Book of Animal Tales and The Lion Storyteller Christmas Book.

Arranged under broad themes - the series features stories about animals, Christmas and from the folk tradition - many of the stories also introduce 'citizenship' themes and values through story.
