The Tortoise and the Hare: A Tale about Determination
(Reader's Digest Young Families, 2006)
This is an extra copy. Here is a twenty-page children's picture book that extends onto its back endpaper with tips for parents, including strategies, discussion questions, and activities that grow out of the story. The ...
The Little Red Hen: A Tale about Cooperation
(Reader's Digest Young Families, 2006)
Here is an extra copy of this book. I include this book in the collection not because I think The Little Red Hen should be viewed as a fable but because this volume is part of a series that is labeled Famous Fables. This ...

(Reader's Digest Young Families, 2006)
Here is an extra copy of this twenty-page children's picture book that extends onto its back endpaper with tips for parents, including strategies, discussion questions, and activities that grow out of the story. The version ...
The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck: A Story about Trust
(Reader's Digest Young Families, 2006)
Here is an extra copy. This story is not from the fable world I know. Jemima is dissatisfied living on the farm because her eggs are taken from her and hatched by hens. The farmer's wife thinks that ducks are poor ...
The Pied Piper: A Tale about Promises
(Reader's Digest Young Families, 2006)

(Trapes Forlag, 2009)
First created and published by Creations for Children International in Belgium. This was a desperate purchase at a fine new book shop in Oslo when I seemed unable to find any fable books at all. A later visit to Oslo ...
Des Kaisers Neue Kleider
(Verlag Sauerländer, 1998)
From the original The Emperor's New Clothes, apparently by Walker in London. The clothes that the betrayers offer in this version have this wonderful quality, dass sie für jeden Menschen unsichtbar wären, der nicht für ...
A Race between Tortoise and Rabbit
(Shaanxi Normal University General Publishing House, 2006)
Here is a very nicely produced pamphlet of 32 pages. The color work is well accomplished; the overall impression is of a slick children's book. Two-page spreads offer simple and lively illustrations. The art work emphasizes ...
The Hawk and the Crow (Chinese)
(Human Cultural Enterprise Co., 2010)
This is a very pleasing series of twelve 12-page pamphlets of unusual proportions, namely just under 10 inches square. The two-page spreads here are again dramatic, from the time that the crow sees the hawk swoop down ...
