These classic novels edited for young readers make great reading assignments with any reading program.
More than two hundred of Aesop's famous animal fables. Many of these tales are so well known they have given us phrases we use every day - like dog in the manger or sour grapes - but even the rarer ones seem familiar, because their simple morals are based on universal truths. From the tortoise and the hare or the boy who cried wolf to the treacherous partridge or the big and little fish, Aesop's wise and foolish creatures are a lasting delight.
Based on the original tales by Aesop. Retold by A. A. Handford. Illus. by Fritz Kredel. The Puffin Classics books are the most complete and unabridged versions of these classic novels. Elegantly illustrated in black and white. Biography of the author is included in each book. Recommended for ages 10 and up. |
