Yo, Aesop! For years, Aesop's fables have been passed from person to person--sort of like the flu. With all that telling and retelling, however, a lot of the fun has been lost. And some of the ancient stories don't make much sense to modern readers. That's why we thought it would be a good idea to dust off some of Aesop's lessons and come up with brand-new fables for them. You won't find "The Fox and the Grapes" here. In fact, the first fable--a story involving a pigeon and potato salad--is called "Feathers, Frisbees & Flying Salami." Each modern fable ends with a brief commentary from an Aesopian stand-in, such as, "You call this a fable?" or "Back in ancient Greece, we didn't watch TV. We just sat around hoping that someday, someone would invent pizza." Read more about this book |
