El Gallo, la Zorra y el Perro: Fábula de Esopo
(La Galera, S.A. Editorial, 1981)
Here is a bright, clean book with hard covers telling the UP story. The artist does fine work with the animals' faces here. The fox's early grins are excellent! The dog really does come in this version. There are ...
The Very Greedy Dog
(Dominie Press, 1999)
I am surprised that I have never run into this series of ten books before. I wrote the publisher yesterday to ask about the set. Sixteen pages. This version starts with a farmer giving a dog meat and the greedy dog ...
The Hare and the Tortoise
(Dominie Press, Inc., 1999)
Here is the seventh book listed in this series of ten, the second book that I have found thus far. It has about twice the number of words as the other volume, The Very Greedy Dog. There are 587 words here to 228 there. ...

The Wind and the Sun: Aesop's Fables Retold
(Angus & Robertson, 1951)
In my experience, it is unusual that, as here, the sun starts the argument. The story's form is the poorer version: Whichever one of us can make this poor traveller take off his coat shall be declared the stronger, suggests ...
The Dove and the Ant: Aesop's Fables Retold
(Angus & Robertson, 1951)
Various pages use pastels and black-and-white illustrations. The pastels are particularly charming. My favorite is the two-page spread on which the dove sweeps down to drop a twig for the struggling ant (12-13). This ...
