Los protagonistas de estos cuentos son animales y hombres, con sus defectos y virtudes. Inmersos en la riquísima y cálida naturaleza de la Selva Misionera, los animales de estas historias piensan, se ríen, lloran, envidian, casi como si fueran seres humanos. Son cuentos entretenidos que nos dan ejemplos de pacífica convivencia entre el hombre y la naturaleza.
