Several previously published titles make a comeback. The paper-over-board Who's Got Game?: Three Fables by Toni Morrison and Slade Morrison, illus. by Pascal Lemaitre, collects The Ant or the Grasshopper?; The Lion or the Mouse?; and Poppy or the Snake? first published in 2003 and gathered together for the first time. In a starred review of Ant, PW wrote, "Aesop's freewheeling Grasshopper and industrious Ant become `Foxy G and his ace Kid A' in this witty, hip-hop-inspired update."
