Aesop's Fables
(Andersen Press, 2010)
Fiona Waters, I am learning, is a prominent creator of children's books; she has produced some eight of them! She and Fulvio Testa have combined to make a very good fable book here. Testa's style remains similar to the ...
The Ants and the Grasshopper
(Magic Wagon, 2010)
This is a 32-page adaptation of GA. That this is a creative adaptation of the fable is clear, if not sooner, on 4-5, where the ants above ground wear hard-hats and ants working under the earth wear miners' helmets with ...
The Boy Who Cried Wolf
(Magic Wagon, 2010)
This is a 32-page adaptation of BW. Will Meugniot is, if anything, more expressive than the others working in this series. Typical of him are the huge number of sheep on 4-5 and the facial experssions of those sheep who ...
Aesop: Fables
(Del Prado, 2004)
This is an impressively bound little volume of 638 pages. By my count, it contains some 322 fables in black print with maroon titles. Del Prado is known for its series of classics. There is a T of C at the back covering ...
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
(Magic Wagon, 2010)
This is a 32-page adaptation of TMCM. The title on the book's cover spells the last two words with crooked boards to suggest the difference between country and town life. So does their clothing, starting on the cover. ...
The Lion and the Mouse
(Magic Wagon, 2010)
This is a 32-page adaptation of LM. This version is unusual in that the bored mouse sees the sleeping lion. In many versions he has no idea that he is running over a lion. The mouse decided it would be fun to surf down ...
Zó?w i Zaj?c: Bajka Ezopa/The Tortoise and the Hare: An Aesop's Fable
(Frances Lincoln Limited, 2009)
Here is one of three bilingual reworkings of Frances Lincoln's 2001 version that is only in English. The Polish here appears above the English, and both languages complement the very large illustration on the facing page. ...
After Aesop: Improvisations on Aesop's Fables
(Hamilton Books: Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, 2010)
True to the character of this book, I will say that it provides me a learning experience. First, I bought the book from an Australian dealer because I could not find it here in the USA. Now I see that Amazon is selling ...
The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse
(EDC]Usborne Publishing, 2007)
I noticed this book as I wandered around Learning Sprout Toys in Tacoma on a morning of visiting after a fable lecture at Puget Sound University. The story starts in the present but promptly shifts to the past. Pipin is ...
Aesop's Fables
(Meadowside Children's Books, 2006)
This book is big and dramatic! It will appeal to children by its helpful introductions of the characters, e.g., A story about a not very nice hare and a pretty slow tortoise. I think one could best call the art primitive. ...
