"Once Upon a Time Animal Stories" by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey is a collection of children's folklore and fables written in the early 20th century. The stories within this volume explore themes of morality and nature through the lives of various animals. The narratives are designed to entertain young readers while imparting lessons about friendship, hard work, and the consequences of pride. The opening portion of the collection introduces several tales, starting with "How the Eagle Went Hungry," where a proud Eagle learns the value of humility when he encounters hardworking Beavers. This is followed by the story of "Little Footsteps Upon the Water," a little Indian boy who gets stuck in a hollow tree and is rescued by Grandmother Porcupine, highlighting themes of community and care. Other stories, including those of clever tricks and daring adventures, build a whimsical narrative that allows children to engage with morals through relatable characters and captivating events. The simple language and rhythmic storytelling create a delightful read for children and an enjoyable experience for those sharing the stories.
