As someone who has worked with children, mostly in a classroom setting, for the past three years, I found this book to be an excellent addition to a home library or possibly a digital story time lesson where the illustrations could shine at their best in a large format! Which the illustrations certainly deserve! The cartoon style really brought the stories to life, and I can see children giggling over them as they read through these classic tales again and again. The book chose its fables well, both were thematically linked with the idea of greed as a human failing, and I believe that the book is formatted and executed in a way that makes this idea accessible without being preachy. Also, I really liked the bonus puzzles that came with the book. They were age appropriate and related to the book's contents, which really helps create another layer of learning for children to explore. Great book! I'm looking forward to more from this author!
