First Graphic Readers: Aesop: the Ant and the Grasshopper & the Fox and the Crow cover

Discover two fabulous fables in accessible comic book form: The Ants and the Grasshopper shows us why it is good to work hard and prepare when Grasshopper is left with no food for winter; Meanwhile Crow learns a valuable lesson in the folly of vanity when she loses her cheese to a cunning fox.

First Graphic Readers is an original approach to the perennially popular Aesop's fables. These much loved, read again stories have been transformed into a fun graphic form perfect for children learning to read alone. Beautiful artwork accompanies carefully controlled narrative text in panels and speech bubbles, with text large enough for the young reader to read themselves. Every book in the series contains two stories, each with its own illustration style which also adds a compendium feel. Perfect for 4-6 year olds.
