Aesop's Fables

Bibliographic Info: Pinkney, J. (2000). Aesop's Fables. Illus. Jerry Pinkney. San Francisco, California: Chronicle Books LLC.

Annotation: This book is full of well known fables (61 in total) with accompanying water color pictures. The stories include, "The Tortoise and the Hare", "The North Wind and the Sun" and several others.

Genre: Fable/Folktale

Grade Level: 2-5

Readers who will like this book: I think many children will enjoy hearing the familiar stories and being introduced to some they may have never heard. Children who enjoy folktales definitely!

Personal Response: It was fun to revisit some of the old folktales again, but I was not to delighted by the illustrations. There is a great variety of stories in the book and even quite a few that I do not remember reading or hearing. I would rate it at a 3 due to its wide array of stories.

A question you would ask before reading: Who has heard the story of the tortoise and the hare? Did you like it?
