Book Description from Back Cover

Everyone will be fascinated by this collection of stories featuring creatures from the deep seas, caves, and deep space.

Like its companions, Fables from the Garden and Fables from the Sea, each story ends with a valuable lesson. Meet a wolf spider who visits his blind cave cousin only to discover he must use his other senses to "see." Watch two comets blaze across starry skies as they learn the importance of keeping their promise the hard way. And near the smoking chimneys of deep sea vents, attend the annual relay race and witness a crab who will stop at nothing to win!

Here are ten stories that will amuse and amaze, all illustrated in vibrant watercolors.
