Aesop
Illustrated by Don Daily
There are many renditions of Aesop's Fables, but this one is oh, so special. The illustrations are simply fabulous. It is a treat to turn every page and pore over the great detail and beauty of the animals and characters and read these versions of the tales, with the moral spelled out at the bottom of each fable.
I marvel at how the illustrator captures some aspect of the moral and fable he is illustrating: the fox's sour expression when he can't get the grapes; the genteel gestures of the city mouse with his country mouse cousin; the conceited airs of the gnat on a grumpy bull's head, and more.
