Squiddy Fables

Squids Will Be Squids by Jon Scieszka is a fun way to introduce a child to the idea of fables. The stories are perhaps not as instructive as those in a traditional Aesop collection, but still manage to convey the point of a fable. The illustrations are appealing and humorous, and complement the text well. It includes a few notes about fables, and asks the reader to construct a few fables herself.
