A Good Collection of Children's Stories and Fables

This book was on my entering kindergartener's Summer Reading List as were others of this talent artist-author's books. This is a book I wish I had run across earlier. I have been trying to read all of the old fairytales to my children and have been having to do things piece meal. Here are many of them all in one place. (See the *search inside* Table of Contents.) Besides the Contents listed on that page there is another page that is not shown. (Go figure.) A list follows of what is on that 2nd page: The Owl and The Pussycat Johnny and The Three Goats The Straw Ox The Fox and The Stork Master Of All Masters The Emperor's New Clothes The Miller, His Son, and Their Donkey The Fox and The Grapes The Elves and The Shoemaker Chicken Licken The Tortoise and The Hare The Cat and The Mouse The Shepherd Who Cried "Wolf" How Jack Went To Seek His Fortune The House On The Hill As you can see, not only are their many classic tales, but also some of Aesop's fables. Four Stars. Great collection of stories with one or two poems. Artwork typical of Mr. DePaola.
