Customer Review: King James Version

The illustrations are great and my son insists on reading a minimum of three fables every night. However, the fables are written using wording and morals that require a good bit of translation and explanation -- just like reading the bible -- into today's language. This was definitely a great buy!

Customer Review: FABLES FOR FUN; MORALS TO LIVE BY!

THE AESOP FOR CHILDREN WITH PICTURES by Milo Winter is a wonderful storybook full of stories every child should own. Aesop's fables are short stories with a moral at the end. This is a beautifully illustrated hardcover book that will last much longer than a paperback version. I highly recommend this out-of-print edition over the paperback that is readily available just for this reason! This book is very well organized and has mostly small illustrations (either 3x5 or 5x7; but eleven are full-page illustrations!) The moral is in italics at the end of each fable so it is easy to spot. Sometimes I choose a moral first and then read that fable to my daughter.
There are a total of 112 fables! I will not list them all but some of the more popular ones which happen to be my personal favorites: THE FOX AND THE GRAPES, THE LION AND THE MOUSE, THE SHEPHERD BOY AND THE WOLF, THE CROW AND THE PITCHER*, THE DOG AND HIS REFLECTION, THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE**, THE FOX AND THE CROW, and THE NORTH WIND AND THE SUN. (The * means my favorite-- ** means my second favorite.)
THE AESOP FOR CHILDREN WITH PICTURES has so many fables I am confident that you will find your favorites as well as discover many new favorites! I highly recommend this book full of wisdom and morals for anyone at any age! Enjoy this alone or with your children or grandchildren!
