A hundred and one fables, each short enough for one sitting and each closing on a lesson a child can repeat back. Foxes, owls, mice and tortoises carry the arguments about honesty, patience and pride.
Retellings use simple, clear language and are paired with full-colour illustrations, so the book works for a parent reading aloud and for a newly independent reader going it alone. Familiar stories such as The Fox and the Grapes and The Tortoise and the Hare sit beside less widely known fables, giving a wider spread than most single-volume selections.
Made for young readers:
• 101 fables with a clear moral takeaway in each
• Full-colour illustrations on the page
• Language pitched at roughly four to ten years
• Works for bedtime reading and classroom sessions
A good choice for parents, primary teachers and gift buyers looking for stories that build character alongside reading habits, available at Boipoka.
