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. ...
La Tortuga y la Liebre: Una Fábula de Esopo: The Tortoise and the Hare: An Aesop's Fable
(Frances Lincoln Children's BooksFrances Lincoln Limited, 2001)
This is my third bilingual presentation of this fable by the same people, along with one just in English. The other two combine English with French and Polish respectively. This is a landscape-formatted, unpaginated, ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
