Morpurgo, Michael

The McElderry Book of Aesop's Fables

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark. Morpurgo's retellings of twenty-one fables are longer than those found in many collections. The retellings are as unremarkable as Clark's watercolor paintings, in which the animals are more cute than realistic, but the book and Morpurgo's interpretations of the stories and morals will appeal to the intended audience.
