Aesop's Fables

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Martin Jarrie. This is a sophisticated rendering of thirty-six fables, many well known ("The Fox & the Grapes," "The Tortoise & the Hare"), a few more obscure ("The Boy & the Hazelnuts"). Striking acrylic paintings benefit from intense colors, unusual angles, and clean folk-art style, lending an eye-pleasing angularity to landscapes, people, and animals. Cech's appended author's note provides useful background information about Aesop.
