WHY THE HARE HAS LONG EARS

What happens when a clever hare outsmarts his friends-but forgets an important lesson about honesty?

In this beautifully illustrated African folktale, children will follow the adventures of a mischievous Hare who learns that being clever is not the same as being kind. When drought strikes the forest and the animals must work together to store food, the Hare finds a way to sneak extra bites-until he's caught in the act

With a gentle twist and a memorable ending, Why the Hare Has Long Ears explains how the hare got his famous look and teaches valuable lessons about:

✅ Honesty

✅ Teamwork

✅ Sharing

✅ Playing by the rules

Perfect for ages 4-8 and beyond, this engaging story is a great read-aloud for classrooms, bedtime, or story time at home.

Part of the Animal Wisdom Series, this story combines folklore, rich illustrations, and moral learning in a way that children will love and remember..
