A new gift edition of a classic title—with illustrations that are reminiscent of Winnie-the-Pooh!

A whale and a seagull dance silently on a moon-drenched beach. A grasshopper pays a fortune for a speck of dust. A squirrel and an ant discover a mysterious feast with an invisible host in the depths of a forest.

These whimsical animal tales will captivate readers of all ages.
