Abstract
-
en_US
This eight-inch-square book seems to be internally identical with 3 Minute Aesop's Fables, edited by Gina Phillips and illustrated by F.S. Persico. That booklet was published by Smithmark Publishers in 1992. This booklet's unusual addition is the cover inviting a young reader to dial a story. The open window on the dial shows a picture of the central characters of each fable and the page it is on. Let me include some of my comments from 3 Minute Aesop's Fables. This is a simple book of eleven fables without an index or T of C. The illustrations tend to be simple. The tortoise wears glasses, a scarf, and a derby (13). All the stories except the last get two pages. Some of the morals are cautious, like For some a safe, simple life is better than a rich life full of danger (7) and Slow and steady can win the race (12). Other morals are perceptive: Before accepting advice, it is wise to consider the source (9) and It is easier to talk about doing great deeds than it is to accomplish them (20). Someone has written Abraham in marker on the lower left corner of the cover.
