The Aesop for Children With pictures by Milo Winter

** "The Aesop for Children" by Aesop is a collection of short stories designed to teach kids important lessons using animals and their experiences. The tales share morals about how people should act, often ending with a simple rule to live by. Early on, we meet a young Goat, scared by a Wolf, who cleverly tricks the Wolf. Other stories show the danger of being too proud, like the Goat's mistake, or wanting too much, like the Tortoise who gets into trouble. One story tells of a young Crab whose bad habits make it hard for them to give good advice. These simple stories teach readers about being humble, why bragging is bad, and why it's important to show, not just tell, people how to act right. **
