Illustrated by Tony Ross. unpaginated. hardcover. Cover art by Tony Ross. keywords: Children . FROM THE PUBLISHER - Contemporary retellings of six fables from Aesop, including The Fox and the Crow,' The Stag and his Mirrors,' and The Hare and the Tortoise.' . In his own inimitable style , Ross has modernized' six of Aesop's fables all but one featuring a fox. In a raucous voice, the audacious crow in The Fox and the Crow' sings Madame Butterfly' and Tiptoe Through the Tulips' to a strolling fox in gentlemanly garb. A boastful tortoise in a bar vows that he's more skilled at running than the clumsy hare, who, during the arranged race, knocks himself unconscious by banging his head on a low tree branch, thus allowing the tortoise to win the race. Such is the humor that Ross employs in both stories and illustrations a tactic that will certainly elicit scorn from purists. These fables bear no morals; indeed they seem to be written purely for entertainment. The visages both wily and foolish of the humorous cartoon-like characters that adorn this book (drawn in watercolor with pen-and-ink) bear out this feeling.' - SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL.
