Aesop's Fables opens up Aesop's life lessons to the very young. Here is the Lion and the Mouse, the Tortoise and the Hare, as well as lesser known stories such as The Frogs Who Wanted a King, all made sweet on the eye and easy on the ear. There is a preface to every story too, set in Ancient Greece, in which Aesop talks about his inspiration for what follows.  With eight stories over 80 pages, this is a cuddly confection filled with such expressive creatures that young children will have an absorbing time being schooled in Aesop's ancient moral code.
