Short and vivid renderings of Aesop's fables in rhymed verse. Each one is only one page with a moral stated on the opposite page. These are very common tales that would be helpful for kids to know as they are referenced frequently in many settings. Could use this poetry in combo with picture book

stories or other read-alouds of fables with 3rd - 6th graders. Might be inspiration for kids to write their own poetry summaries of favorite stories they have read. Illustrated by Karen Barbour--vivid and memorable illustrations in electric colors. Show Less
