desertcart.com: Aesop's Fables Hardcover: The Classic Edition by acclaimed illustrator, Charles Santore (Charles Santore Children's Classics): 9781604338102: Aesop, Santore, Charles: Books Review: A Timeless Treasure for Little Readers! - I purchased Aesop’s Fables Hardcover: The Classic Edition as a baby shower gift, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! This timeless collection not only introduces children to classic fables but also creates a meaningful connection between the giver and the little one, especially when paired with a personalized inscription. The illustrations by Charles Santore are simply breathtaking. Vividly detailed and full of life, making each page a joy to explore. There’s even a hidden fold-out page that adds an extra touch of magic and wonder for children to discover. The stories themselves are beautifully written, with clear “Morals of the Story” that help kids understand right from wrong and the consequences of actions, all while keeping bedtime reading engaging and memorable. The colors and artistry are timeless, and reading it aloud makes it feel like a true treasure you’ll return to again and again. Overall, this edition is not just a book, (it’s an experience) making it an ideal gift for a baby shower or any special occasion. Highly recommended! Review: Grandson and I Endorse This Book - Illustrations are beautiful and captivating. However, the terminology is sooo dated that it requires translation, which we really don’t mind. In interpreting the language, I also interpret the meaning, the moral of the story, as it were. A wonderful opportunity for teaching and learning life’s lessons. Each fable is only one page, so you can read as many or as few as you wish at a time. Super quality time. Would make a lovely gift.

Beautiful Drawings But Advanced Vocabulary For Early Elementary School Children
Beautiful drawings and good tales, but be warned - the vocabulary was beyond that of a bright third grader. Reading it aloud to grandkids, I found myself paraphrasing as much as reading the stories.
