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 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 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 ...
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 Tortoise or the Hare
(Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2010)

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 ...
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 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. ...
The Boy Who Cried Wolf!
(Advance Publishing, 2014)
The back cover advertises this and the other books of this series as award-winning motivational character-building picture books. The overall series, Sommer-Time Story Series, has won over forty national awards. The ...
The Fox and the Stork: A Fable by Aesop
(North-South Books, 2003)
This is an enchanting edition in the tradition I have come to expect from North-South. It was first published in Switzerland as Fuchs und Storch. The textures throughout are very soft. Fox wears an apron as he prepares ...
