The Country Mouse and the City Mouse: Based on the Fable Written by Aesop
(Reader's Digest Young Families, 2003)
Here is the more original version of a book published in 2006 in its series Famous Fables by the same publishers, Reader's Digest Young Families. This 2003 book is a fuller version of the story but lacks some of the added ...
The Miller and the Donkey: A Tale about Thinking for Yourself
(Reader's Digest Young Families, 2006)
This is a favorite fable, and I am happy to see it included in this collection. Both text and illustration here are well done. The early story sets the miller up to look older than he is and to have his twelve-year-old ...
The Rooster and the Fox: A Tale about Being Clever
(Reader's Digest Young Families, 2006)
This is not the simple Aesopic fable about universal peace and a sighting of dogs in the distance. This rooster is the protector of the henhouse. The story's first phase has the rooster tricking the fox into shutting the ...
The Boy and the Lion
(Ginn and Company, 1983)
This is a well-worn but sympathetic and engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. I love Biro's illustrations. The boy in this booklet is indeed a boy, vaguely African with a cap and a tattered long shirt that ...

The Fox and the Crow
(Ginn and Company Ltd, 1983)
This is a well-worn but sympathetic and engaging eight-page pamphlet with stiff covers. I love Biro's illustrations. The fox here is like an outfielder making a diving catch of the cheese which the crow has let fall. ...
The Fox and the Crow Based on a Story by Aesop

I have TH and GGE in this same series and I just ordered FS and SW. They all belong to First Reading books by Usborne. This is a sturdy book, about 8 x 5, containing 32 pages. This telling highlights the crow's responses ...
Little by Little
(Golden Books Publishing Company, 2002)
Two crows find a pitcher of water only partially filled. One gets the bright idea to use pebbles. The other complains that it takes too long. The first perseveres. Mile 1 books like this feature easy words, fun rhythms ...
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 ...
