Best of Aesop's Fables Hardcover

Aesop's fables have survived for centuries because each one carries a plain moral inside a very short story. This hardcover collection gathers well-known fables in retellings pitched at readers between six and twelve, running to 128 illustrated pages. The tales are brief enough to finish at bedtime, and because a fable closes on a lesson about honesty, patience, greed or friendship, there is usually something left to talk about once the book is shut. Larger print and a firm binding make the volume workable for a child reading alone as well as for an adult reading aloud to a younger listener. Inside this volume: • Classic animal fables retold in simple modern English • Colour artwork placed to hold younger attention • A clear moral at the close of each tale • Hardcover binding built for repeated handling A good fit for readers aged six to twelve and for family read-aloud time, published by Manoj Publications and available at Boipoka.
