A primary reading series developed with UCL Institute of Education to help children become confident, independent readers.
A timeless collection of over twenty of Aesop’s best-loved fables, including favourites such as The Hare and the Tortoise, Town Mouse and Country Mouse, Dog in the Manger and The Lion and the Mouse. The tales are retold with warmth and humour by former Children’s Laureate Michael Morpurgo and brought to life by Emma Chichester Clark’s exquisitely playful and distinctive artwork.
Reviews
An up-to-date voice and lots of cheerful illustrations
A timeless anthology... told with warmth and humour and complemented by playful and distinctive artwork. An essential addition to any child's library.
Morpurgo's rhthymic, very accessible language and Chichester Clark's amusing and lively artwork combine perfectly to make this book an absolute joy to read alone and as a group ... These are stories for the Literacy Strategy and beyond.
