The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

A hungry wolf disguises himself as a sheep in order to steal and eat other members of the flock. He soon becomes the largest and fattest 'sheep,' which the shepherd then catches and cooks for his own dinner. For more than 2,500 years, generation after generation has passed along the animal stories known as Aesop's Fables. These much-loved tales do more than entertain: they also convey simple, essential life lessons. The characters in Aesop's Fables teach us how to be better--and wiser--human beings. Our editions feature charming illustrations and gently updated text that retain the stories' original aesthetics, while appealing to a modern audience. Help a new generation of children enjoy the warmth, wit, and wisdom of these classic tales!
