Aesop tells over 200 small stories. There are rarely over a page in length and each has a moral which is printed underneath but can usually be grasped before the story finishes. Included, of course are the famous stories, "The boy and the wolf", "the Tortoise and the Hare" but there are over a hundred less famous stories which have morals that are just as meaningful.
This is a great book but not one I can recommend wholeheartedly. It is more like an encyclopedia of stories than a book itself. It would be impossible to just sit down and read these stories one by one to a child without sounding preachy. Instead it would be useful as a reference that a parent could use to explain a misdeed.
One surprise of these stories is that our morals have not changed in the thousand years since Aesop wrote these. He often talks about oppresors and these are still very much influencing our daily lives.
