Reviews

[Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

A decent story [though admittedly yet another fable involving a reflection] nice to see them stick to their guns with the ending for once.

[Shoes&Ships&SealingWax · Rating 4 out of 5]

A simple story with a satisfying ending & straightforward moral: don't be a bully!

[Sadia Mansoor · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love this simple story with an important message that one should not be arrogant nor thinks higher than others!

A ( 4 years old):
I loved the pictures and the story was ok.
The lion was mean because he wanted to eat the animals.
They hid from him and clever rabbit tricked him so that they could be safe.
