From the Publisher
"Sure we'd all love to be able to go around telling stories about all
the weird, scary, and just-plain-annoying people that we know. 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 eighteen
fables in this uproarious collection are sure to delight readers both
young and old.
Illustrated by Lane Smith."
