Great book!, November 16, 2009
This review is from: Aesop's Fables for Children: Includes a Read-and-Listen CD (Dover Read and Listen) (Paperback)
I love reading this book to my children. The stories have rich language, yet they're short enough that even young children don't get lost. My 6 and 5 year olds read two of these fables each week for school, and they're learning a lot.

Good book. My son enjoys listening to the CD and "reading" himself. I appreciate the morals at the end of each story.

better than i thought, February 15, 2011
This review is from: Aesop's Fables for Children: Includes a Read-and-Listen CD (Dover Read and Listen) (Paperback)
Ok, I almost didn't buy this because of the "ass" comment, which I did appreciate. I'm a conservative homeschooler and didn't really want my 3, 4, 5, and 7 year olds talking about the "ass."
But I was attracted by the price and CD, and I'm really happy with the product. IMHO everything for little kids ought to be on CD because they learn so well from them. And the CD has most of the famous fables on it (about a third of them from the book, which has over 100).
I would have given it five stars if the print/layout had been just a little bit more kid-friendly... the pages have the old school font and layout like from the 50s, with double columns and typewriter (close set) font. But it is still a lovely book, old fashioned, true to the originals. After debating about this version versus the others, I'm happy with it. We used it with Evan-Moor Lit Pockets (Fables), and it had all 8 stories suggested.
