Here is a unique picture book anthology of three favorite Aesop fables.
Not as clever as he thinks he is, the Fox is outsmarted in the first two fables, The Fox and the Grapes and The Fox and the Stork. At last, in The Fox and the Crow, he has his moment of triumph. Each fable is complete in itself, yet leads easily into the next, making the book one that can be enjoyed either in part or as a whole.
In the illustrations, Paul Galdone accents the foxiness of his hero and treats all the characters with humor and a respectful regard for nature.
