Arctic Aesop's Fables: Twelve Retold Tales (PAWS IV)

Author: Jim Fowler Susi Gregg Fowler
Publisher: Little Bigfoot
Category: Children's Fiction, Traditional, Animal Stories
Age Group: 15+
Book Format: Paperback

Alaskan landscape painter and picture-book artist Jim Fowler illustrates 12 fables credited to Aesop, choosing Arctic animals as the characters and Arctic landscapes as the settings. In “Slow and Steady Wins,” a little porcupine challenges a bragging snowshoe hare to a race. In a version of “The Lion and the Mouse,” a grateful mosquito manages to repay a favour granted by a white-fronted goose. Susi Gregg Fowler identifies the source fable for each story in this appealing book and ends each selection in the traditional way, with a stated moral. The writing has a storyteller’s sense of pace and a colloquial manner of telling, and facing each text page is a large illustration, which helps bring the stories and their distinctive settings to life. A good addition to classroom units on fables or the Arctic, this attractive book offers a fresh interpretation of timeless tales. Grades 2-4. --Carolyn Phelan
