This book may be little, but it’s very powerful.  Forty-seven fables from Aesop are featured, many with an accompanying black and white illustration.  The fables are short, but to the point, at the end of each is the lesson to be learned in bold-faced type.  Although short, each fable still gives the flavor of the characters and plot.  I like the fact that there are so many fables in just one book.  This is an excellent book for every school library but also as a resource for teachers.
