Reviews

"Waters deftly adds a contemporary tone in description and dialogue to her smooth rendering of 60 familiar and less-well-known tales. . . . With its many comic touches, this anthology presents once again the humor, folly, ingenuity, and wisdom that make Aesop so durable." —School Library Journal on Aesop's Fables
