This Caldecott Medal-winning picture book by Arnold Lobel offers a unique collection of twenty original fables. Each fable features a distinct animal character, a concise narrative on one page, and a vibrant, full-page illustration on the facing page. Unlike traditional fables, Lobel's morals are often playful and subtly ironic, gently poking fun at human foibles rather than delivering stern lessons. Perfect for children aged 3-7, it encourages discussions about character, choices, and the unexpected wisdom found in everyday situations.
