The Aesop for Children

The fables of the ancient Greek storyteller Aesop have been handed down for thousands of years. Using animals to portray human folly, Aesop ended each short tale with an explicit moral—offering in most cases practical life lessons which apply even today. The vocabulary of this English version is suitable to five-year-olds and up. I’m reading to jazz renditions of Bach.
