"Necessity is the mother of invention." "Practice what you preach." Join the wolf, polar bear, raven, and many more as they learn (and teach!) many of life's invaluable lessons in this arctic retelling of the classic Aesop's Fables. A ringed seal discovers that the truth can be a powerful friend; an Arctic Ground Squirrel learn to be careful what she wishes for; and the porcupine knows that slow and steady wins the race. With beautiful illustrations by Alaskan painter Jim Fowler, the twelve fables here are uniquely set in the landscape of the Alaskan wilderness.

One hundred twenty-six best-loved fables of Aesop.

An illustrated adaptation of twelve animal fables first told by the Greek slave Aesop.

Several fables from Aesop are adapted and woven into a story about the adventures of a fox.

“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” Aesop's Fables have been touchstone tales for thousands of years.
