Jaguar is creeping through the jungle hoping to find something fat, juicy, and easy to catch. He's famished. Hasn't eaten in days. He stealthily parts some bushes and there, in a natural clearing, is a Tapir. A lovely, fat, juicy Tapir. Jaguar licks his chops, bunches his muscles, and suddenly springs out! The Tapir is startled out of her pleasant daydreaming to stark reality: sudden danger - time to run, NOW! Inches from Jaguar's extended claws, Tapir swerves and bolts at the last moment! With Jaguar hot on her heels, she thrashes away in panic, blindly crashing into bushes, narrowly missing tree trunks! Hot in pursuit, Jaguar is almost upon her...just a few more inches and he can sink his claws into her back and bring her down for a the killing bite...just a few more inches....THWACK!Fables of the Forest and Savanna: Fun Lessons in Ecology is a comic book that portrays South American animals of the Amazon forest and grasslands, and makes a great educational resource for curious kids, as well as their their parents and teachers.

"Come, come, Cap'n, be just," returned the other. "There's no call to be angry with me in earnest. I'm on'y a chara'ter in a sea story. I don't really exist.""Well, I don't really exist either," says the Captain, "which seems to meet that.""I wouldn't set no limits to what a virtuous chara'ter might consider argument," responded Silver. "But I'm the villain of this tale, I am; and speaking as one sea-faring man to another, what I want to know is, what's the odds?""Were you never taught your catechism?" said the Captain. "Don't you know there's such a thing as an Author?"

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-The purpose of realizing this historical context is to approach the understanding of a historical epoch from the elements provided by the text. Hence the importance of placing the document in context. It is necessary to unravel what its author or authors have said, how it has been said, when, why and where, always relating it to its historical moment.Fables by Robert Louis StevensonThe fable, as a literary art form, had a great attraction for Mr. Stevenson at all times; and in an early review of Lord Lytton's Fables at Song, he attempted to define some of their proper aims and methods. To this kind of work, according to his conception of the matter, essentially several of his own semi-supernatural stories belonged, such as "Will of the Mill", "Markheim" and even "Jekyll and Hyde;" in the composition of which he was combined with the dream element, at least in equal measure, the element of moral allegory or apology. He was also accustomed to occasionally testing the composition of more strictly called fables, and cast in the brief and familiar conventional form. In the winter of 1887-88 he already had enough of these, along with a few others running longer, and conceived in a more mystical and legendary streak, to allow him, as he thought,

Written by Ralph M. Flores, illustrated by family and friends, and published posthumously, these thirteen fables are fractured in that some are take-offs on Aesop's Fables and Navajo coyote tales, but all show topical twists unique to Ralph's wry, indulgent humor. The moral at the end of each fable, if we didn't realize sooner, alerts us the animal characters are stand-ins for human fools. Not a children's book, but kids along with adults will take away from it what they see in the mirror that Ralph is holding up. Paperback and Kindle available on Amazon.
