Aesop's fables Book

I loved this book! "Aesop's Fables" which was selected and illustrated by Lisbeth Zwerger is a delightful folklore collection that appeals to young and older alike. With its short stories and beautiful illustrations, these fables would be enjoyed by primary and intermediate readers for sure. Each story tells about the actions and interactions of both human and animals which lead to important lessons learned for both.

I gave this collection of "Aesop's Fables" 4 stars because it touched my on several levels. The style of writing was easy and fun, and the illustrations were beautifully presented. The stories brought a smile to my face and moments of laughter to my heart and I thought about the folly of so many of the characters. Their predicaments are very relatable and the lessons they learned (hopefully) are timeless!

Among my favorite lessons are: "Simple meals in safety taste better than feasts in fear"; "You cannot believe a liar even when he tells the truth"; and "Foolish comparisons lad to broken friendships." Much to think about - thanks, Aesop!
