Fables

An Americanized Aesop with excellent illustrations. Caldecott Medal winner, 1981.

Asked to create a new edition of Aesop's Fables, Arnold Lobel tried and failed to do so. He disliked the moralistic tone in them and so returned the advance. However, the fable format was firmly affixed in his head and so he created these one page tongue-in-cheek fables..

'Short, original fables with fresh, unexpected morals poke subtle fun at human foibles through the antics of animals. . . . The droll illustrations, with tones blended to luminescent shading, are complete and humorous themselves.' -- Association of Library Service to Children, ALA.
