The humorous children's stories in this collection were previously published by the Detroit Free Press' Yak's Corner, an 8-page print magazine written for students ages 6-13. Sporadic B&W spot illustrations accompany each story. From the foreword: On behalf of Yak's Corner, I would like to express thanks to Artie Knapp for allowing us to publish five of his delightful animal tales in our magazine. Our young readers benefited from his use of humor to gently deliver messages about following your heart, respecting differences, pursuing your dream, conquering your fears, and being true to yourself.
