This illustrated work is so much more than just another children’s book. It is a part of Gen-X childhood. I recall my father’s baritone reading these to me, then my sorting out the stories that would later, unbeknownst to 5-year-old me, shape my world view… “ wolf in sheep’s, clothing,” “the hare and the tortoise,” “the lion and the mouse” and so many more. Do you recall your favorite?
