Reviews
"Each [tale] a stunner, with the slyest little details bedecking the edges of the bottom pages. I love them all but it's The Lion and the Mouse here that has my heart. I don't know why no other illustrator has ever considering trapping not just the lion but other animals and creatures in nets, but Imai has and it's brilliant." --Elizabeth Bird, A Fuse #8 Production, School Library Journal
"The unusual [calendar-like] format is a creative way to present these moralistic tales....will take readers beyond single-volume treatments. An assortment of fables fabulously illustrated and strikingly presented." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Elegant, spare prose and stunning, imaginative illustrations breathe new life into old tales in this collection of Aesop's fables... the pictures are definitely worth the price of admission." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
