Another gift for a friend’s bookshelf who is welcoming a baby girl. Fables, fairytales, and myths serve to tell us about the world around us and how to navigate it wisely. Aesop’s fables are absolutely classic.
This is a wonderful selection of Aesop’s greatest hits accompanied by detailed and intriguing illustrations by Santore, who always excels. An excellent way to introduce kids to one of the world’s oldest pieces of children’s literature.
