This series of short stories, in verse, addresses concepts of self-worth, selfishness, inclusion, and other topics. When a Snider the Spider takes the stage, you'll follow him through the wild outdoors as he learns to overcome his fears. Then follow along as Rufus the Lion King tricks his subjects into including him in their activities. The other tales include a boy who learns to share with others less fortunate than him and another who can't keep anything to himself, blabbing to anyone who will listen until his friends turn the tables on him.

The illustrations at the start of every story add that special tough and make this a book your child will enjoy over and over again.
