Gather ‘Round the Fables

 Children's / 36 views

Whimsical fable retelling collection
The Fox and the Grapes meets the King James Bible.
The Tortoise and the Hare meets political correctness in a divided society.
The Lion and the Mouse meets narrative poetry.
In this whimsical and humorous collection, three of Aesop’s best-loved fables are retold in a variety of styles. A hare who loves football, a tortoise who researches rare roots for a cure for cancer, a hungry but egotistical fox, and a mighty lion with a soft spot—these and other animal friends scamper, dance, and leap across the pages and into the hearts of the reader, leaving both a chuckle and a timeless life moral with a fresh twist.
