Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-15 00:00:00 Peter Raleigh Too much. I suppose some families will like it, but imo this oversize book is just a showcase for the art and a way to get more money than a smaller, cozier, more readable book would be. I would not have enjoyed it as a child. Only a dozen fables is just a sample, anyway, and this would need to be supplemented in order to give a child a good background in the genre. I, personally, am not too fond of Ward's retellings, either; I especially do not understand the postscript to the Tortoise and the Hare tale. Nonetheless, the art is gorgeous, and I don't blame libraries and godparents for buying the book. And I will continue to look for more by the illustrator.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-06-01 00:00:00 Christie Chase Awesome illustrations, lots of big words. This book is better suited for children at least 7 years old, I think. Nicola can read it but comprehension only comes with a lot of talking through it. She totally missed the moral of the story of the Lion and the Mouse. :) She thought the Lion didn't eat the Mouse because it might make him sick. lol
