Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 1 Up–A compilation of fables retold and illustrated by adults with developmental disabilities, this volume has the potential to serve a number of different audiences. Individuals with disabilities and those who live, work, or go to school with them will find much to interest and inspire them. The writer/artists' interpretations of the tales range from startlingly original to confounding, but the ways in which they relate the stories to their own life experiences are often touching and illuminating. For The Fox and the Cat, an autistic young man explains that he relates to this story because it is difficult for him to make a decision. The book's artwork–rendered mostly in watercolor or felt-tip markers–is likewise variable, with the best of it displaying an arresting sense of composition and color. The paintings are mostly primitive in style and many are powerful in capturing the high points of the stories they illustrate. Despite its uneven quality, this handsomely produced book has much to offer.–Miriam Lang Budin, Chappaqua Public Library, NY

The format of this book is easily reproducible at home or in the classroom, which make this great for a read-aloud or a mini-lesson. [These] timeless fables teach morals while the personal stories of [each artist teach] children to appreciate the disabled, as well as to believe in themselves. This collection can also be used as an example of literary response, an exploration of art concepts, an appreciation for differences, or an empowerment in a special needs classroom. This book has something to teach everyone, and is recommended for all ages. --Children's Literature
