"These seven animal stories from across the globe are adaptations inspired by traditional tales that were pleasantly modified for greater listener interest and appeal. Many are origin stories, explaining the development of a peculiar physical or environmental phenomenon, such as why the bear has such a short tail (in the title story) or how the sun and moon came to be (in 'Porcupine and the Sky'). Children will be charmed by Marshall's delightful and soothing delivery and will be enchanted with her vocal effects, as with the song in 'Turtle's Music.' The stories will also initiate discussions about life's choices (via 'A Gift for the Hoopoe' when all the hoopoe birds wished for diamond crowns), or cleverness (as in 'Monkey and Crocodile' when the chief croc demanded the monkey's heart for his birthday dinner). These animal adventures are full of fun and are rich food for thought."
