FABLES FOR FUN; MORALS TO LIVE BY!
THE AESOP FOR CHILDREN WITH PICTURES by Milo Winter is a wonderful storybook full of stories every child should own. Aesop's fables are short stories with a moral at the end. This is a beautifully illustrated hardcover book that will last much longer than a paperback version. I highly recommend this out-of-print edition over the paperback that is readily available just...

Missing illustrations
The fables are wonderful as always. However, the Kindle verson does not have any illustrations like the title suggests. My daughter and I were very disappointed.

FABLES FOR FUN; MORALS TO LIVE BY!,
This review is from: The Aesop for Children: With Pictures by Milo Winter (Library Binding)
THE AESOP FOR CHILDREN WITH PICTURES by Milo Winter is a wonderful storybook full of stories every child should own. Aesop's fables are short stories with a moral at the end. This is a beautifully illustrated hardcover book that will last much longer than a paperback version. I highly recommend this out-of-print edition over the paperback that is readily available just for this reason! This book is very well organized and has mostly small illustrations (either 3x5 or 5x7; but eleven are full-page illustrations!) The moral is in italics at the end of each fable so it is easy to spot. Sometimes I choose a moral first and then read that fable to my daughter.There are a total of 112 fables! I will not list them all but some of the more popular ones which happen to be my personal favorites: THE FOX AND THE GRAPES, THE LION AND THE MOUSE, THE SHEPHERD BOY AND THE WOLF, THE CROW AND THE PITCHER*, THE DOG AND HIS REFLECTION, THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE**, THE FOX AND THE CROW, and THE NORTH WIND AND THE SUN. (The * means my favorite-- ** means my second favorite.) THE AESOP FOR CHILDREN WITH PICTURES has so many fables I am confident that you will find your favorites as well as discover many new favorites! I highly recommend this book full of wisdom and morals for anyone at any age! Enjoy this alone or with your children or grandchildren!

King James Version,

This review is from: The Aesop for Children: With Pictures by Milo Winter (Library Binding)
The illustrations are great and my son insists on reading a minimum of three fables every night. However, the fables are written using wording and morals that require a good bit of translation and explanation -- just like reading the bible -- into today's language. This was definitely a great buy!
