Reviews

• Full of moral values

  Great book contains short stories that give life long lessons to young children. Each story has one moral value to teach the kids. This was the book my kid referred back to again and again when there’s an issue in their lives that makes them reflect about what they had learned from this book. Big lessons for small children.

• どのお話も飽きない

  短いお話がたくさんあり、一つ一つのクオリティがとても高く、飽きさせません！ 英語のレベルはそこそこ高いので、洋書読み慣れている方の方が楽しめると思います。

• アーノルド・ローベルの絵が素敵です

  こんなに分かりやすくて、きれいな絵だと、 絵にひきこまれるのでは？と時々、友人の子供たちにプレゼントしています。 文字の量はそこそこあります。 でも、ローベルの絵が「読んでみたい」と思わせることを期待しています。 40p.と薄いのですが、タテ30cm.近いので 家でゆっくり読む感じかもしれません アーノルド・ローベルの愉快で素敵な絵を どうぞお楽しみ下さい

• ちょっと大人向け

  動物が主人公であることからか、4～8歳向けとなっていますが、大人のほうが寓話の意図を読み取れるのではないかと思われる話もいくつか含まれています。

• Good, But Not Quite Twenty Out of Twenty

  1980年の カルデコット賞の 絵本です。 ゆうめいな イソップ物語 みたいなもの。 一枚の ページが イラストで、 つぎの ページは そのお話です。 イソップの ように 人間の 事を 動物の 面白い話で かたります。 Whimsical and often witty illustrations of gentle creatures grace the facing pages of each these Aesop-like fables, complete with the ending moral. Easy to read, neither to long nor too short, and the kids like the pictures of animals in human clothing and situations. However, a few stories are rather contrived, and one or two morals needed a good deal more explanation than the story alone could provide. Since there are twenty tales, however, there is still much to recommend in this volume. Both my boys give it a thumbs up (they`re five- and seven-years-old.) The hardcover edition would probably make a good gift.

• 1エピソードに絵は1枚。もう少し多いとなお良し

  英語多読用。20の短編とその内容に合う諺。小学生の低学年向け教科書のような内容で、個人的にはあまり面白くなかったです。45分。 5,376words Total: 16,045 words

• My 4 year old loves the fables.

  We have gone through all the fables several times. The illustrations are pleasing to the eye. The book deserved the Caldecott award for both the stories and the beauty of the book. I know eventually, she will be reading the fables to me, having an even better understanding of each fable and its moral.

• My son i thrilled with it (in his words)

  (in his words) I liked the stories and the pictures. (in my words) Short fables with a bottomline and beautiful illustrations.

• Yes yes yes! You won't regret buying this!!

  If you like well-written children's books with great stories and a varied vocabulary then this is the book for you!!! We took this book on holiday to read to our 3 and 5 year olds and it was the perfect choice!! It has 20 fables (non-religious), one on each page. We read two each night and they mesmerised the children. They are quirky, imaginative, comical and have great messages about how to live life. This author has also written the 'frog and toad' series, which are easily our top favourite books for the same reasons.

• great book, highly recommend. Frog and toad is better

  Great book for kids, it actually is meaningful! Unlike most children's books these days. Some of the fables aren't great, but it's not bad these days. Definitely his frog and toad series is the best

• De fácil lectura

  Práctico para estudiantes que están iniciando en el inglés. Las moralejas no me parecen las mejores
