In this delightful collection of animal fables, Robin Skelton transports young readers back to long long ago — an ancient and fabulous time. These humorous stories offer solutions to such difficult questions as "Why does the ostrich bury its head in the ground?" Long Long Ago takes children into a wonderful world of fantasy and yet — as always with Skelton — the tales have unexpected endings. Pamela Breeze Currie's engaging pen-and-ink drawings capture the spirit of Skelton's tales.
