I liked this version because it is kid-friendly, but there's enough story that an adult could enjoy it too. I loved the illustrations. There are about 60 of the fables in this book, enough to get a good idea of how Aesop writes and his morals. I liked it.

Aesop's Fables are a timeless classic. But what makes this a great book are the illustrations. The beautiful watercolor illustrations of animals, people and nature are adorable and unusually realistic.
Illustrated by Jerry Pinkney.

Beautiful illustrations. Good for all ages. Writing assignment: respond to the story by describing how to employ the fable’s lesson in your own life. Or, can you think of a time in the past that this story’s lesson might have helped you?

My most recent read-aloud book to Emma. I got this particular edition of Aesop's Fables because of the artist. The illustrations are beautiful and numerous, and give depth and life to the fables. Even though Emma didn't engage with every fable, she had some favorites that we read many times (like "the guy that tripped"...The Astrologer). Highly recommends his edition for an introductory to Aesop's Fables, especially for kids. Way better than so many new books out there.

Amazing illustrations and I really enjoyed reading fables that I heard all the time as a child.
