Collected Tales from Aesop's Fables
(Gallery BooksSmith Publishers, 1986)
One of the best renditions I have seen lately. The pictures are excellent, well produced, and witty. Some stories besides SW miss, as when the dolphin does not use a proper name with the monkey. Some are softened: the ...
The Ass in the Pond
(Ginn and Company Ltd., 1984)
This booklet is identical with a third impression found earlier. This has no such marking, and so I presume that it is a first impression. Let me repeat some of my comments from there. This is an engaging eight-page ...
The Donkey and the Lapdog
(Ginn and Company, 1984)
This is an engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Biro's best illustration here may be the double-page centerfold showing the dog in the master's lap and the donkey looking in enviously through the window. In ...
The Farmer and His Sons
(Ginn and Company, 1984)
This is an engaging sixteen-page pamphlet with stiff covers. Biro's best illustration here may be the double-size picture at the centerfold: the boys run to the field, each with a different dream of treasure pictured in ...
The Man, His Son, and the Ass
(Ginn and Company, 1984)

The Eagle and the Man
(The Wright Group, 1986)
A simple pamphlet by the illustrator of Collected Tales from Aesop's Fables (1986). This fable is not included there. #8 of a set of twelve.
The Lion and the Mouse
(The Wright Group, 1990)
I have this little booklet already as it was produced in 1988 by Ginn and Company. Now here is the Wright Group's edition. It set or tied a record for my dealings on eBay, since I got the booklet for one cent! It once ...
The Ass in the Pond
(Ginn and Company Ltd., 1984)
Here is a engaging eight-page pamphlet with stiff covers. It tells the story directly and even sparsely. Do not miss the smile on the ass's face on 5 when he has lost most of his salt. Then notice his chagrined look on ...
The Donkey in the Lion's Skin
(The Wright Group, 1986)
Number 3 in the series. Here is a quirky eBay find. I had found one other book in this set, which now includes not twelve but rather eighteen members. Biro's work is always lively, and this eight-page presentation of ...
