This book is compiled of several short stories and made up tales. They are diverse in topic, and some are quite interesting, mostly a page in length each.

Caldecott Award winning book of fables with nice watercolor illastrations. I love fables. They're short and get the children to think about personal improvment and problem solving. The different story lessons can be applyed at different times. It would also be good for open conversaion simular real life situations. ( )

A collection of fables created by Arnold Lobel each with a moral. Each fable is written on one page with a single accompanying illustration on the opposite page. Very funny! ( )

This book is a fantasy book. The art is hand drawn sketches done with watercolor and colored pencils. The book has many 20 different fables that the author has written. The reading level is third or fourth grade. The curricular connection is reading because it is a book on fables.
