Being a good friend takes practice and effort. Loyalty, patience, and selflessness are key parts of friendship, and hard to put into practice when trying to recruit many friends instead of just a few. Aesop’s fable “The Hare with Many Friends” drives this point home to readers! They’ll take away similar lessons from the many other stories of Aesop, including “The Lion, the Fox, and the Stag” and “The Swan and the Goose.” All enhanced by hand-drawn illustrations, these fables help readers begin to understand strong character and the good it can bring to self and others.

In Aesop’s fable of “The Horse and His Rider,” a boy buys a horse without asking if it has been broken for riding yet. As he mounts his new steed, the horse takes off at a gallop, clearly not ready to be ridden. The central lesson is a good one for readers to consider: act quickly without thinking and suffer the consequences. More than a dozen other fables offer wisdom and advice through their accessible text and charming, full-color illustrations. Readers will enjoy Aesop’s animated characters as they begin to understand that those strong in self and character always triumph.
