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 ...
The Hare and the Tortoise Based on a Story by Aesop
(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 ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
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 Tortoise or the Hare
(Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2010)
About seven years earlier, Toni and Slade Morrison did three books of fables for Scribner's, all beginning with the question Who's Got Game? Their artist in all three of those was Pascal LeMaitre. Now here is a new ...
Der Löwe und das Mäuschen: Nach einer Fabel von Aesop
(NordSüd, 2011)
I visited Heidelberg early and late in this trip to Europe. During the early stop, I came by Hassbecker's but found nothing. The woman who has always been so friendly and helpful said that she would look for me and that ...
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. ...
