The eleven Aesop's fable retellings in this volume were previously published in Eric Carle's Treasury of Classic Stories for Children, a much larger work that also contained fairy tales and folktales. This new collection, with its brightly colored full-page collage illustrations, is a fine way to introduce children to Aesop and the concept of fables.
