The Lion and the Fox
(Artes Graficas CobasArtes Gráficas Cobas, 1987)
As often in this series, the story has changed radically from its earliest versions. The old lion plays sick, so that the animals will bring him nice food. Different animals get different impressions of the lion's sickness; ...
The Hen That Laid Golden Eggs
(Artes Gráficas Cobas, 1987)
As often in this series, the fable is changed from its earliest versions. The farmer wants all his hens to lay two eggs daily. The text has him seeing a golden egg one day, while the illustration shows two! His reaction ...
The Fox and the Grapes
(Artes Gráficas Cobas, 1987)
Cute characters. This is actually a double fable. First the fox chases some rabbits and condemns them when she cannot get them: they are too tough to eat anyway. Like all the books in this series, this one tells you ...
The Blacksmith and his Dog
(Artes Gráficas Cobas, 1987)
Cute characters. Here the dog leaves the blacksmith and goes through farmwork and circus work on the way to discovering that work is work. Like all the books in this series, this one tells you THE END in case you did not notice!
The Mother Deer and her Fawn
(Artes Gráficas Cobas, 1987)

(Editorial Origen, 1990)
A straightforward presentation of seventy of Samaniego's 157 fables, with some simple line illustrations. A short life of Samaniego precedes the fables. No notes. T of C on 122. The order of fables here seems to bear ...
Mi Pequeño Libro de Fábulas: Tomo 6.
(Artes Gráficas Cobas, 1985)
El Asno Vestido de Leon, El Raton de Campo y el Raton de Corte, and El Asno y el Caballo are the three fables contained in this little book. The approach to the stories is cute. Thus the cover picture's ass ...
Fábulas: Samaniego.
(Editores Mexicanos Unidos, 1985)
A straightforward presentation of 152 of Samaniego's fables, preceded by a prologue and followed by a T of C.
Fabulas de Samaniego
(Suromex, 1989)
Compare this paperbound book with my 1965 Susaeta Aesop hardbound. This little volume presents 83 of Samaniego's 157 fables. There is at least one of Mordillo's lively illustrations with each of the fables here, and many ...
