Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble Staff

Lobel follows in Aesop's footsteps with this collection of fables. Many of life's hard lessons are brought forth, but they are softened with humor and sometimes downright silliness. The stories can be enjoyed on a basic level by young readers and on a more sophisticated level by older ones.
