A Tale of Two Beasts by Fiona Roberton

As the wise Mark Twain said: ‘There are two sides to every story and then there is the truth.’

A funny little creature is rescued by an enthusiastic girl who names him Fang, takes him home, cares for him, clothes him and introduces him to her friends. She makes quite the life for him and then he runs away. Next, Fang tells his side of the events and his perspective is a little less flattering and quite indignant. However, on reflection, maybe the little girl wasn’t so bad after all.

Children 3 and up will enjoy this fun story and will see that most stories have more than one point of view.
