Fables
The good writer's power is in taking stories from a traditional format and investing them with freshness and vigour. Here, Lobel spins fables with wit and sharply pointed morals. The young enjoy the sharp characterisation. Eights and nines I shared these with made up their own, inventing afresh under Lobel's tutoring! That is the kind of creation through language we're now implored to do! The pictures are stunning.
