But the truth is, no one likes a gossip. Here, the irrepressible Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith have found a way around that problem - they just make like Aesop and change all the people to animals or food, add a moral to each story, and call the stories fables! With tales like "Little Walrus", in which too much of the truth is a dangerous thing, the cautionary "Slug's Big Moment", wherein Slug is so caught up in herself that she doesn't see the steamroller behind her, and "Straw and Matches", which illustrates quite clearly why you should never play with matches (because they cheat), the 18 fables in this uproarious collection are sure to delight listeners both young and old. Members Reviews: Funny and has amazing illustrations. This book is hilarious. It is so snarky. I'm a big Jon Scieszka fan, have been since I was little, and want my son to have his books. My son is 6 and understood most of the humor in this book, but he is an old soul. I'd say this book would be better suited for 8 and up. The tales are hilarious, the humor is unique, and the artwork is AWESOME. The book is made up of numerous stories, about 2 pages long each. The characters in all of them are crazy looking...almost Tim Burton-like. The stories are enjoyable for both kids and adults. Overall this is a really fun book for anyone who likes off-the-wall humor. Possibly not the moralistic fable book you re looking for... This is very funny indeed. I've been a fan since his true story of the 3 little pigs, and even more since the "Stinky Cheese Man". This one is great. Some ofthe fables are a bit subversive; some are just twisted albeit probably accurate... and they are all a lot of fun. I enjoyed it a lot myself, and will be giving it to some parents I know who I think will also like it for their kids. Great spin on teaching fables! Great book for teaching rhyme and fables to students. A favorite book for many years now A favorite book for many years now. Reading it with my grandchildren, I used and encouraged much inflection and varied voicing for different characters. Each story is unique and wonderful fun, though some are a bit gross. We still quote the title story, "Squids Will Be Squids," in our communications in person, by texts, and on Facebook -- "Great!" said deer will elicit always "Great!" said mouse. Kids like it Weird stories but still fun. Nice hard cover.
