Fables

A pig flying through marshmallow clouds to a marzipan moon? A camel pirouetting through the desert? A wolf who looks suspiciously like an apple tree-or is it the other way around? A bear in a frying pan hat and paper bag boots?

Where can a reader -child or adult -find such marvelous things but in a fable? Arnold Lobel, creator of Frog and Toad, has given own funny and true fables. Each accompanied by an illustration of glowing color and rich detail.

Indeed, the reader of Arnold Loble’s Fables will be rewarded-just like the mouse who goes off to see the world-by many moments of happiness.

Twenty original fables about an array of animal characters from crocodile to ostrich
