Fables by Arnold Lobel
Winner of the Caldecott Medal
A pig flying through marshmallow clouds? A camel pirouetting through the desert? Where else could a reader find such marvelous things but in a fable? From the author-illustrator behind beloved Frog and Toad, Arnold Lobel, comes a collection of humorous, silly fables that will delight readers young and old.
The most remarkable of the author-illustrator's 60-plus bestselling award winners. --Publishers Weekly
There is enough cheerful nonsense in Mr. Lobel's fables to endear any child listener. --The New York Times
Lobel has come up with a magical addition to an ancient genre of storytelling. --Newsweek
Arnold Lobel (1933-1987) illustrated many wonderful children's books but is most beloved for his Frog and Toad stories, including the first one, Frog and Toad Are Friends, published in 1970. The books have garnered much acclaim, including a Caldecott Honor for Frog and Toad Are Friends and a Newbery Honor for Frog and Toad Together. These were followed by Frog and Toad All Year and Days with Frog and Toad.
