Short tales in which animals stand in for human behaviour have survived well over two thousand years, and a selection appears here in jumbo format.
The fables attributed to Aesop are gathered in a large-format edition, each story running to a page or so and closing with the moral that gives it its point. Illustrations accompany the retellings, and the generous trim size makes the book comfortable for a child to read alone or for an adult to hold open while reading aloud. The brevity of each fable suits bedtime, when one story at a time is usually enough.
What the pages hold:
• A collection of Aesop's fables in a large jumbo format
• Stories short enough to finish in a single sitting
• The moral stated plainly at the close of each tale
• Illustrations accompanying the retellings throughout
A sensible choice for young readers, parents reading at bedtime and teachers introducing classic moral tales, available at Boipoka.
