Fables by Arnold Lobel

3.0

This collection contains twenty fables written by the author of the Frog and Toad series. Each fable is one page, and at the end, has a one-liner moral of the story. Each page opposite has a solitary image of the animals in the fable.

I enjoy reminiscing on the fables that I read as a child and seeing how I have changed over time while the story stays the same. I found some of these fables to be a little odd in terms of how they played out, and many of them have quite a sad ending. However, there is always a lesson to be learned, and I think children would enjoy trying to guess what might be an important theme to gather from each story. While these are not the classic Aesop fables, they are still good fables to learn from. My favorite is The Bad Kangaroo. :)
