Love this book. |
|
This book is so perfect for children. There's like 20 different fables, so you definitely get your money's worth. The illustrations are so cute. My son loves it and so does my husband! |

fabulous fables |
|
My son received this book as a gift when he was born. He is nearly 4 now and we're still reading it and I'm sure we'll continue to read it for years to come. The illustrations are gorgeous and of course the fables are wonderful lessons. The book opens up great opportunites for discussions between child and adult. I just purchased several copies for his friends for holiday gifts. |

Because Lobel made them |
A collection of new fables using animals as characters and complete with little morals at the end of each one. There are all sorts of animals getting into all kinds of predicaments. The best thing about this book is that a kid doesn't have to sit down for very long to read the whole thing. Each fable is exactly one page, so it would be easy to just sit down and read a few if there isn't much time. I like the use of animals because it's traditional and fun for kids. The illustrations are hysterically funny as well.

One of my FAVORITE books as a child |
I'm 21, going on 22 in April, but this was always one of my favorite books (next to Shel Silverstein's Where The Sidewalk Ends). My favorite was Cat and His Visions. My mother would read it slowly and deliberately, licking her chops like the cat would. I noticed that there was also a note in the discussions area that someone's child had nightmares - I ALWAYS had nightmares, but THIS BOOK MADE ME WANT TO FALL ASLEEP BECAUSE I LAUGHED SO HARD that it made me sleepy! I wish I had been able to dream about the cat and his fish - but then again, we had two cats at my house. We actually had a house fire and our two cats died in '98 or '99, but I still have great memories of laying on my bed with my mom, sister, and our kitties, reading fables. And I honestly think I'm a better person because of the lessons that are taught - I always was read Aesop's fables in school to the point where I was almost sick of them, so having this and Shel's book were wonderful, wonderful.
And for any of you parents out there, YES, IT DOES MATTER IF YOU ARE DRAMATIC with the reading. You may be too embarrassed now, and you may be again when your kids are older, but from the time they're born to the time they are about 12, go for the gushy stuff - yes, it's crazy to think of MY mother acting like THAT, or hugging me or anything, but deep down it makes me so happy. Just don't suffocate the kids! ;) |

Fun Change |
Middle elementary school.
I cannot remember a single one of these fables, which is because Lobel created them. They are fun with unexpected twists and wonderful morals.
Per usual, Lobel has superb, interesting, expressive, and fun illustrations. There is one illustration for each fable.
