The Tortoise And The Ducks Audiobook Story
A curious tortoise is sick of his boring, slow life on the ground and wants to experience the world from above. But when he does there is a very important lesson to be learned. The Tortoise And The Ducks is the perfect fable for explaining the consequences of arrogance to your little one. The tortoise's desire to feel special leads to his downfall, literally. The fable ends with “And the moral of that story is that foolish curiosity and being big-headed can often lead to misfortune.” Aesop's fables are a collection of ancient tales credited to the famous storyteller, Aesop who is believed to have lived in Ancient Greece during the 6th century BCE. Fables are short stories that deliver a moral lesson or practical message usually through animals or mythical creatures acting on our human experiences. These stories have influenced literature across all ages and cultures.

Why do we write bedtime stories for kids?
When we first decided to create a bedtime story for kids, we knew we wanted it to be fun, engaging and high quality.
We wanted Sooper Books to bring children's publishing into the 21st century. We strongly believe that nighttime stories for kids need to fit seamlessly into modern family lives which is why our free stories are all online.
It began when we started writing stories for our own family. Then our friends and wider families asked for copies and we started to share Sooper Books with other children.
At Sooper Books we write, curate and narrate stories for kids so they can enjoy the best quality content, enchanting stories and magical adventures. With our stories we work towards promoting a positive attitude to reading and instill a love of books in children from an early age.
