Aesop's fables retold and illustrated by Eric Carle
Carle's illustrations shine throughout the pages of this book. They are quite unique (take a look at the picture on the left <--) and really help set up a fun and light atmosphere. This book is filled with fables that students may or may not heard before. Some of the fables included in this book are: The Cat and the Mouse, The Rabbit and the Turtle, and The Wolf and the Dog. The visuals do a nice job of aiding the written text.
I would recommend this book to individuals of all ages: children and adults alike. Carle's retelling of these fables help put a modern day twist on Aesop's version. I could definitely see myself using this book in a classroom as a read aloud.
