Introduction eading is a good way of getting knowledge. It should be introduced in early childhood, hence it becomes a habit in people's lifestyle. To encourage children to love reading, we provide interesting stories in a fable series. We believe that animal kingdom stories have their own affractiveness to amuse children with fantastic stories. Thus, children are also encouraged to build their own fantasies, to open their mind to knowledge and different views, and to have in their soul good moral values that are always enriching every story.
