Fables by Arnold Lobel

4.0

I picked up a copy of this because I recognized the cover; I remember nothing about the content of the book, but I'm SURE I read it when I was little (3rd grade at most). It does have truly superb illustrations, and some of the fables are very good (my favorites are "The Hen and the Apple Tree" and "The Mouse at the Seashore"). Not all of the fables work--just skip the hippopotamus one--but overall, it's a solid collection. And I cannot overstate the quality of the artwork.

I read this aloud to my husband and my pitbull, and they both enjoyed it.
