BENNETT'S FABLES FROM AESOP AND OTHERS

written and illustrated by Charles H. Bennett

genre: fables

summary: It is a collection of English midnineteenth century fables retold by Bennett. The fables talk about animals and humans living together and forming societies. Illustrations are colorful, however are done with irony and cinicism, so would be more appropriate for older kids to understand.

characters: Various animal and human characters in the fables

grade level: third grade

comments: I would definitely recommend this book for older kids and for those who are good readers already. They have to be experienced readers for them to understand the messages in the fables.
