I found this book to be really interesting and funny. The book is about a leopard and hare building the same house at different times and not knowing that the other was helping. In the end, the hare was able to trick the leopard and get the while house to himself. I think this is a good book for kids to read because it is funny and deals with the smaller animal beating the bigger animal.
