Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Aesop (/ˈiːsɒp/ EE-sop; Ancient Greek: Αἴσωπος, Aisōpos; c. 620 - 564 BCE) was an Ancient Greek fabulist or story teller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Although his existence remains uncertain and no writings by him survive, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. Many of the tales are characterized by animals and inanimate objects that speak, solve problems, and generally have human characteristics.

Scattered details of Aesop's life can be found in ancient sources, including Aristotle, Herodotus, and Plutarch. An ancient literary work called The Aesop Romance tells an episodic, probably highly fictional version of his life, including the traditional description of him as a strikingly ugly slave (δοῦλος) who by his cleverness acquires freedom and becomes an adviser to kings and city-states. Older spellings of his name have included Esop(e) and Isope. Depictions of Aesop in popular culture over the last 2500 years have included several works of art and his appearance as a character in numerous books, films, plays, and television programs.

The Fox and the Crow
Master Fox saw Mistress Crow fly off with a piece of cheese & land in a branch of a tree.
What did he say to her?

The Fox and the Goat
Master Fox fell into a deep well & Goat was passing by.
What did he say to him?

The Fox and the Grapes
One hot summer’s day Master Fox spied a bunch of grapes ripening on a vine.
He tried several times to obtain them, but to no avail.
What did Master Fox reply?

The Fox and the Cat
Master Fox was boasting about his clever bag of tricks to a Cat.
I have lots of ways to escape my enemies.
What did the cat say/show to Master Fox?

What do you think the moral of the stories are?
I do not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing free books from publishers & authors. Therefore, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one.
An awesome book cover, great hand-drawn colored pictures, charming illustrations & proper font & writing style. 4 very professionally written children’s (preschool/elementary age) Fables storybook. They were all quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters, settings, etc. to keep track of. 4 of them could also make another great children’s educational presentation (moral’s), Fables movie, an animated cartoon, or better yet a mini-TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Four important stories that teach children how to grow well
Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2013

This free kindle book contains four important Aesop fables that children should know because they teach children how to behave and how to be successful. The stories are decorated with pictures. One tale teaches children to avoid flattery, a behavior children frequently adopt because it makes them feel good. Another warns them not to trust someone who is looking out for their own interest. The third shows them the psychological truth that people despise what they cannot get - an attitude they should not develop because they should learn to persevere. The fourth teaches the lesson of quality being more important than quantity.

Book Description
Four fox tales from Aesop's fables presented with modern illustrations: The Fox and the Crow, The Fox and the Goat, The Fox and the Grapes and The Fox and the Cat. These are short stories that are fun and easy to read. Each story is summarized with a moral that you might have even heard of.

Mary's Review
These are four short tales of a fox who seems to have an angle up his paw at all times. Each tale has a moral value at the end. Although I think they are a little difficult for a small child to understand, with some explaination they would understand.
The illustrations are colorful and keep the child's attention.
I would recommend this book for older children 6-12.

About Author
Aesop, or Æsop (c.6th. century BC), legendary Greek source of over 600 fables including The Tortoise and the Hare, written from the oral, have been translated into English by many including the Rev. George Fyler Townsend (1814-1900) and Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914).

Through the use of (mostly) animal protagonists, Aesop's fables consist of simple tales with moral endings transcending time and place so to be as relevant today as they were millennia ago. Universally popular, they still inspire many contemporary stories, plays, and movies.

All the links on this website work. The Kindle Educational APP even works. The story titled , The Fox and the Crow. A crow jumped into a tree with a piece of cheese in her mouth. A Fox saw and wanted the cheese. This was a sly Fox who told great stories. He told the Crow how beautiful she was and how much her singing voice must be. What does the Fox ask the Crow to do?
The Fox also comes upon a Goat, a Cat, and some grapes. What happens? These stories are for older children. One who understand what a fable is.
I found this book on a website for Kindle Unlimited books . You can too.

I give this book a 2 star rating. I normally enjoy picture books, but this one was disappointing. It had 4 stories, but each one was only 1 or 2 pages long. :( :( :( Very young children may not realize this flaw in the book, and if you need a super short book to pass time, this is the one. But if you want a book to enjoy and learn at the same time, this is in no way your book. It would be a good bedtime story for children who have trouble sleeping though, because it sure made me want to fall asleep and forget I even read the book!!!!

This is a series of fables from Aesop with the fox as the main character. As the fox tries to get things, he comes up with ways to get them that uses others. When he cannot find someone to use, he denigrates what he wanted. He does not listen when someone else has a plan he did not think of.

I enjoyed this book. I liked the familiarity of the fox tales. I liked that each story taught a lesson and I also liked that the fox got taught a lesson also. I would like to see more of Aesop's Fables put into a similar format.

I found this an interesting read even though it’s targeted for a much younger audience. I will be definitely giving this to my son to read as the fables teaches morals that can be used in everyday life. The only problem with this book is that I was getting into it and before I knew it the fables had ended. The illustrations are just a lovely The illustrations are a lovely companion for the beautiful written words. (Written by Em Latham)
