The Tortoise and the Hare
(Scholastic, 1984)
Identical with the adjacent entry except for the change in publisher. That change is also responsible for taking away the Reading Rainbow designation. Otherwise the book seems exactly the same as the Holiday House ...
The Ant and the Dove: An Aesop Tale Retold.
(Childrens Press, 1989)
A very nicely executed book. The colored art is crisp and lively; the designs move nicely beyond the borders of the picture. The net-preparing man wears Oshkosh coveralls. The big bite is wonderfully pictured on 25. In ...
Aesop's Fables
(Octopus Books, Ltd., 1980)
This book uses Pavlin and Seda's nice art work from Brown and Watson's 1975 book of the same name but replaces the earlier edition's poetry with a brand new prose text, even changing the name of the first fable from The ...
Modern Fables: Twenty of Aesop's Fables Brought Up to Date
(Peoples Pub. GroupThe Peoples Publishing Group, Inc., 1987)
This book is a pleasant surprise! It offers engaging versions of twenty basic Aesopic fables in terms that a grade school student of the mid-twentieth-century might well understand. The references are dated now, and ...
Iani Novák Aesopia/Jan Novák: Aesopia.
(Sodalitas Ludis Latinis FaciundisSodalitas Ludis Latinis. Institut für Klassische Philologie der Universität München, 1989)
A delightful pamphlet featuring Introitus, Exitus, and six fables in between. Jan Novák had fled from Czechoslovakia, apparently after the putting down of the 1968 Prague Spring. He wrote these fables in ...
C'era una Volta. Esopo-Perrault.
(Arnoldo Mondadori, 1986)
A big book in every way! There are six thematic groups of between seven and fourteen stories each, every group starting with one Perrault story and finishing with the rest from Aesop. The introduction speaks of offering ...
The Birds the Beasts, and the Bat
(The Quail Hill Press, 1983)
Here is a beautifully bound miniature almost 2 square. There are printer's designs rather than illustrations along the way, including geometric designs on the endpapers. With the red title there is a lovely little black ...
The Tortoise & the Hare
(Worlds of Wonder, Inc, 1986)
Boy, it took a lot of illustrators to do a simple book! For use with a (lacking) cassette. The story nicely includes the details that a child would want to know, e.g., what a tortoise or hare is, what their names were, ...
Aesop's Fables
(Picture Book Studio, 1989)
Identical except for its size (4.75 x 4.375 ) with the larger format book printed in Belgium. Another victory for Neugebauer. A wonderful book. Zwerger's twelve ink-and-wash illustrations are witty and delightful. ...
Aesop's Fables
(Yohan Publications Inc.,, 1989)
A book for learning English. There are thirty-one fables with ten simple black-and-white illustrations. At the back is a list of the twenty-two extra words, marked in the text, which the texts absolutely needed but which ...
