Fun With Aesop Reader

One year in teacher & parent testing, a collection of Aesop Fables are now available in a unique form, a special contribution to children's literature. "A smash hit with my five year old daughter," writes a major literary agent. "Just excellent!! The children sat absolutely still for the stories. Your expansion into poetry...is a marvelous idea," writes a seasoned 1st grade teacher in a school where grades 1 through 6 are hearing & reading these fables. Written in bright, read-aloud style, each fable ends with a simple question, followed by an answer page. The story is then told in rhythmic verse, this time more particular & personal, like the memories of life. The fresh & deliberately expanded writing remains true to Aesop's classic themes & characters, & with repeated readings the stories won't grow old, only more interesting as they provide wisdom that spans differences in culture, status, & education. Sixty-seven outstanding storybook illustrations create windows for the imagination. The result is hours of enjoyment for children & adults, with ideas that will grow with them. Order from Baker & Taylor; distributed to libraries by Quality Books.
