Fables
by Arnold Lobel

Animal antics poke subtle fun at human foibles through these short, original fables. Lobel, creator of Frog and Toad, builds the fables around unexpected morals that are funny and true, and illustrates them with rich detail, humor, luminescent shadings, and colors that glow. This popular book is a classroom staple!
