    About this audiobook

    Gooney Bird Greene has a fabulous idea after her teacher reads fables to the class. The children learn that fables are stories with animal characters that teach something important. Gooney's fabulous idea is that each student create their own fable and tell it to the class! Everyone but Nicholas is excited about their stories and costumes. Can Gooney Bird find out why Nicholas is unhappy and get him to join in the fun? Now that would be truly fabulous!

      This is a realistic fiction story about a second grade class reading a book about Aesop's fables. Gooney Bird Greene comes up with a fabulous idea about each of the students coming up with their own fable and presenting it to the class. The whole class is exciting and is working on costumes and decorations except for Nicholas. But Gooney Greene helps Nicholas find a way to enjoy the project too.
