pickI‘m revisiting some of the 1,001 books that I haven‘t read in a while (this one was last read 9 year ago). These fables are so culturally pervasive that we often quote the moral without even knowing where it originated. These fables aren‘t really about animals; they‘re about us. Some morals contradict others, but I think that‘s a lesson in itself. This is also one of the first books printed in English. Fantastic piece of human history.
So excited! We finally have a book store in town! I‘ll post the books we bought later, but the collection is well-curated. The crowd today seems more interested in the cafe than the books 🙄 but I hope that at least subsidizes the book part so they survive and thrive.
A famished fox crept into a vineyard where ripe, luscious grapes were draped high upon arbors in a most tempting display.

I would use this fable in my classroom to teach students about the importance of taking their time while doing their work and kind of use it as a learning moment.
bailedAs historic and fun as these fables are, we should move on from them. These fables are sexist because all of the stories only have male characters. They are innocent, but we have to move on from them.

This story is wonderful to teach students about the dangers of being overconfident and the fact that even if someone says they‘re better than you it doesn‘t make it true.
pickThis is a story that I clearly remember my mother reading to me as a child, so it was nice to reading it again. This is a story with a great message that transcends though time. I the illustrations in this copy were really good and I really enjoyed them.

“The Tortoise meanwhile kept going slowly but steadily, and, after a time, passed the place where the Hare was sleeping.“
