"Lovely art comes with unusual perspectives on familiar tales about lions, mice and trickster foxes." --Kirkus, starred review

"Many children are familiar with Aesop's fables but it is a fair bet that few know much about the storyteller himself...(a) beautiful volume."
--Wall Street Journal

Honoring the path of a slave, this dramatic picture-book biography and concise anthology of Aesop's most child-friendly fables tells how a child born into slavery in ancient Greece found a way to speak out against injustice by using the skill and wit of his storytelling--storytelling that has survived for 2,500 years. Stunningly illustrated by two-time Caldecott Honor winner Pamela Zagarenski.

The Tortoise and the Hare. The Boy Who Cried Wolf. The Fox and the Crow. Each of Aesop's stories has a lesson to tell, but Aesop's life story is perhaps the most inspiring tale of them all.

Gracefully revealing the genesis of his tales, this story of Aesop shows how fables not only liberated him from captivity but spread wisdom over a millennium. This is the only children's book biography about him.

Includes thirteen illustrated fables: The Lion and the Mouse, The Goose and the Golden Egg, The Fox and the Crow, Town Mouse and Country Mouse, The Ant and the Grasshopper, The Dog and the Wolf, The Lion and the Statue, The Tortoise and the Hare, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The North Wind and the Sun, The Fox and the Grapes, The Dog and the Wolf, The Lion and the Boar.

Great toilet paper but it needs to be individually wrapped
Size: 24 Double Rolls (2 Ply)
This toilet paper is soft and comfortable. I have tried different brands of bamboo toilet paper and a lot of them are too rough or sometimes they can leave lint behind (although the lint in general is not as bad compared to regular toilet paper). This toilet paper doesn't leave lint behind and it isn't rough on my skin. Although they seem super thin, they absorb very well and I don't have to use as much toilet paper. Overall, the quality is good and they function great. There was another brand I was using, but they went up in price by a lot. I decided to give this one a try. This is a good value for bamboo toilet paper. However, I wish the toilet paper rolls were individually wrapped for hygienic purposes. It doesn't come in smaller packs inside the big pack like some brands may do. Once it's open, all 24 rolls are exposed.

Good TP
Size: 9 Mega Roll
Nice paper. It doesn't have lint like other papers. Fairly strong for natural TP. It is not economical for larger families though. I would buy it for a 2-3 person household. It's not super-soft, but it's doesn't feel cheap.

Small rolls, but not to scratchy
Size: 24 Double Rolls (2 Ply)
We've been trying different bamboo t.p. brands. This one is not bad, but the rolls are quit small, so while this package has 24 rolls, they don't last long. The paper itself is pretty good. Not quite as soft as we'd like, but not the sandpaper of some others we tried.
