Illustrated by
A. J. McClaskey.
This staple of classrooms and book fairs since it was originally published, McGovern's collection of sixty-one fables is reissued with a new cover by Ricardo Tercio. McGovern's retellings are solid and the small size will attract independent readers, but the exaggerated cartoonish figures in the illustrations date the volume.
