Customer Reviews

Very aggravated....

I'm sure I would have loved the book, I look forward to reading it with with my child, unfortunately I didn't receive it. It says it arrived but nope, I didn't receive it and I can't find anywhere to contact the seller to have them send it! I've spent a lot of money on books lately as well. Very aggravated....

Amazing Collection

This is an amazing product and worth every cent - a must have for those of us who want to riase principled children. It is kind large in that it can't sit on my bookshelf upright - but i wouldn't change the size as it accomodates beautiful wonderfully alrge pictures. My compaint - i would have loved larger font - but that of course is persoanl prefernce as the font is more than readable Again this is amazaing book - and the stories are so great - and to think of how old they are GET THIS BOOK

Aesop's Fables

Everyone should introduce their child to these classic stories. Keep the tradition going, my mom read them to me, and I to my children and grandchildren.

Wonderful Memories

Like most people, I grew up hearing bits and pieces of Aesop's fables, sometimes not really knowing from whence I got such statements like "sour grapes" etc. This book is a delightful compendium of tales, complete with pictures to accompany them. A joy!

A beautiful book

I am starting my collection of children's books for my son. He is still a baby, but he loves to look at the big, interesting, and colorful pictures in this book. It is nice because there are very short stories for times when baby is particularly wriggley and it is time for bed, and longer stories for a growing attention span. He just likes the pictures right now. He tries to touch the animals on the pages. I like the fables because they teach good morals. This is one of those books that stays high on the bookshelf and can be a treasure for generations.

Classic Fables with Classic Illustrations

This is a beautiful classic book you'll want to give to your children and your grandchildren. There is at least one large beautiful illustration for each fable. The text size could be a bit larger, but the illustrations more than make up for it. The moral of each fable is at the bottom of the page.
