Der Wettlauf zwischen dem Igel und dem Hasen auf der kleinen Heide bei Buxtehude
(Hermann Hübener Verlag, 1947)
Is this famous story of the race between the hare and the hedgehog a fable? I admit that the charm of this booklet made me say yes for now, at least to including the booklet in the collection. This is hedgehog life as ...
The Boy Who Cried Wolf: A Tale of Sincerity
(Publications International Ltd.,, 2002)
Each pair of pages presents one full page of text and one of colored illustration. This version of BW is particularly well told. The boy had never seen a wolf; he even wondered if they existed at all. He had tried to ...
Never Cry Wolf!: A Fable Retold
(Sunflower Press, 1987)
A lovely little book, printed as well as told and illustrated by Cunningham. This miniature book is a good example of strategic repetition and variation. It looks like the same illustration is used for all three pages ...
The Contest Between the Sun and the Wind: An Aesop's Fable
(August House Little Folk, 2008)
I have several other texts done by Heather Forest, but I believe that this is both my first book by Susan Gaber and my first book published in 2008. It follows the correct version of the fable when it has the sun say Let ...
The Fox and the Grapes
(The Child's World: The Peterson Publishing Company, 2011)
This title represents the third of the collection of thirteen that I have been able to find. This sturdy hard-cover book not only announces the moral of its fable on the cover but gives it the whole first story page. ...

(EDC PublishingUsborne Publishing Ltd., 2007)
This is my first find in a series of -- apparently -- sixteen First Reading books by Usborne including three fables. All sixteen are pictured on the endpapers. I have ordered TMCM and GGE from the same series. This is ...
The Fox and the Crow
(Franklin Watts, 2009)
This version of FC is lively and well illustrated. One great double-page near the center of the book pictures the vain crow (13). Its text is Crow had always thought she was beautiful. The fox gobbles up the food and ...
Bat's Big Game
(Albert Whitman and Company, 2008)
This happens to be the six-thousandth book in the collection. There is a short statement on the verso of the title-page about the history of this story. It begins with Aesop and Motif B261.1 in Stith Thompson. The animals ...
Die Schildkröte und der Hase
(Xenos Verlagsgesellschaft, 1998)
A stop in Wolfenbüttel to find a banana across from the train stop yielded this booklet and a parallel little volume! It seems not to be related to the one other sound-making fable book I am aware of having, The Tortoise ...
The Fox and the Grapes
(Magic Wagon, 2010)
This is a 32-page adaptation of FG. Mother fox urges son to go get food, like his brother. Fox rather believes that someone will bring him something to eat. His mother cautions that Nothing is sweeter than something you ...
