Each student must invent a fable featuring an animal whose name starts with the same letter as their own. The book charmingly explores themes of imagination, teamwork, and self-expression as the children learn about the structure and moral lessons of fables. It's a delightful read for early elementary children, offering gentle humor and a positive portrayal of school life and learning.
Gooney Bird Greene takes charge of a class project as she and her fellow students in Mrs. Pidgeon's second grade class learn about fables by each making up their own based on an animal that begins with the same letter as their first name.
