This book is not meant to be read by children. Nor is it meant to be read to children. It is meant to be read with children. There are some questions in each fable to help the child develop their imagination, creativity, and problem-solving skills. This will not happen without total involvement and full engagement by an adult. We didn’t mean for this to be a book. We were just trying to make Aesop’s Fables understandable for my great-grandchildren. (Who are great in more ways than one.) We hope we have done that. We hope you and yours enjoy reading this book as much as we enjoyed creating it.
