- Abstract
- en_US There is something careless about this otherwise helpful book. For example, the cover's title for the book is different from the title-page's title: "3-Minute Illustrated Aesop’s Fables, Fairytales, and Stories." The cover continues "35 Aesop's Fables About Kindness, Friendship, Confidence." For each story, there is a lively full-page colored illustration on the left-hand page. The right-hand pages features two columns with parallel English and Spanish prose texts for the fable. I am sometimes curious about how Aesop is presented and how fables are told in a book like this for children. I found surprises: Aesop was freed because he could read and write. I have never heard that asserted before! FG reveals to us that "Nothing good comes easy without hard work" (4). The eagle dies from its own feather (14). "Fox and Raven" speaks throughout about a crow (26). BW has only one joke, and then "the boy did not realize that a wolf had come" (44). I think that the boy realized it all too clearly! The mother crab actually tries to walk straight (70). In the last pages, the author speaks rather casually to readers and to his own family; however we never learn who he or she is! 76 pages. 8½" x 11".
