The Lion and the Mouse: And Other Aesop's Fables

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Bert Kitchen. Bert Kitchen's acclaimed animal studies are showcased in this large-format collection of mostly familiar fables. Orgel's retellings, pithy and distinctively voiced, lack the concluding proverbs, which may worry those who prefer a moral tacked on to the end but which allows young listeners to come to their own conclusions. Each double-page spread is accompanied by a (frequently irrelevant) boxed fact about Aesop.
