Feathers and Tails

by David Kherdian, Nonny Hogrogian (Illustrator)

The book design enhances each selection's impact. Like the fables they illustrate, Hogrogian's pen-and-ink and watercolor drawings are spare, uncluttered, and engaging. Her beautifully drawn animals remain animals despite their human activities and foibles . . . Children will flock to this volume.--School Library Journal, starred review.

Superb collection of tales from everywhere, starring all kinds of animals. My favorite is the hummingbird and heron who race. There are many favorites of the colorful panels: tiger with anansi the spider, heron and crane, and the softly colored doves who land on the ground to eat the hunter's bait seeds.

I am trying to read my traditional literature books over Christmas break. I liked this this book of fables. My favorite one was called The Four Friends. It was about four animal friends going through changes. The skunk ate the fish, the bird ate the skunk and the deer ate the bird.
They were easy fables to read. I would recommend this book of fables to anyone who wants to read them.
