The illustrations are cute and funny. Students were asked to predict Lobel's moral of each fable, then we discussed, as a class, whether we agreed or disagreed with them. ( ) A pig flying through marshmallow clouds? A camel pirouetting through the desert? Where else could a reader find such marvelous things but in a fable? From the author-illustrator behind beloved Frog and Toad, Arnold Lobel, comes a collection of humorous, silly fables that will delight readers young and old. This Caldecott medalist authored and illustrated by Arnold Lobel is a winner in my book! That he created 20 of his very own short, clever one page fables opposite full page illustrations is rather noble. Each fable exhibits seemingly posh and proper animals expressing their ridiculously obstinate, mischievous yet sometimes fortuitous ways. All of Lobel’s fables end with not quite a moral, but a lesson of sorts. His illustrations differ from the muted colors he used in the Frog and Toad series. Here he uses grafite, ink and watercolor to produce full color, amusing and intricate illustrations to draw us in. no reviews | add a review
