Lessons from the Lion, the Ox and their little friends by Aesop

Growing up we are all taught or read fairy tales by one person or another. I had a conversation with my boyfriend about this recently and found that the stories I am so familiar with from my childhood he is not. It showed a comparison of different cultures as he is Russian and I am American. He told me of the stories his mom used to tell him and the ones he learned when he moved to the states, but little of them were similar to those I grew up with.

In Aesop's Lessons from the Lion, the Ox and their little friends I had found the parallel between my world and my boyfriends. The stories are short, sweet and packed with moral decency that should be spread to each individual. These stories are easy to read and the illustrations are very simple yet intriguing to grasp a child's attention.

While this is a quick read for me, but one I feel that a young child could enjoy reading over and over again. There is plenty of room for creative improvisation for adults to continue the story and allow for growth based on the child. I could honestly picture my dad reading me these in funny voices or myself asking my niece to point out things within the pictures that went along with the story.

Great read, great price (FREE), overall great time!
