The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse

The Ants and the Grasshopper
(Magic Wagon, 2010)

The Boy Who Cried Wolf

The Fox and the Grapes
(The Child's World: The Peterson Publishing Company, 2011)

The Tortoise & the Hare
(Little, Brown and Company, 2013)
Pinkney's art is consistent in its style. And his approach to the story here is excellent. One is surprised to move through the book and find very little text. There is only, part by part, sometimes repeated, always ...
