LESSONS FROM THE LION, THE OX, AND THEIR LITTLE FRIENDS by Aesop
Lessons from the Lion, the Ox and their little friends - Aesop,Ripple Digital Publishing

Four of Aesop's Fables starring the lion, the mouse, the ox(en), the ant, the grasshopper, and the frog.  I liked that the story is first followed by the adage it illustrates.  These are good stories and lessons to learn.  Your toddlers will enjoy them as well as your early readers.

24 Festive Tasks: Door 17 - Winter Solstice: Task 4 (Soyal)
The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales - Wilhelm Grimm,Jacob Grimm,Brothers Grimm,Joseph Campbell,Josef Scharl,Margaret Raine Hunt,Padraic Colum,James Stern
The Complete Fairy Tales - Hans Christian Andersen
Sämtliche Märchen - Wilhelm Hauff
Aesop's Fables - Laura Gibbs,Aesop

My mom told or read me a good night fairy tale or fable almost every night when I was little -- mostly from the Brothers Grimm's collection, but also those by Hans-Christian Andersen and Wilhelm Hauff.  I generally preferred the Grimm tales over Andersen's, chiefly because they could be relied upon to have a happy ending (which is also why witches and evil giants didn't scare me one bit there -- I knew their ultimate purpose in the narrative was to be vanquished by the hero(ine); whereas in Andersen's tales that wasn't a given, and if the ending was sad, it was very sad indeed).  The stories I liked best, though, were those by Wilhelm Hauff: many of them were set in oriental or otherwise exotic settings in the undifferentiated "past" and were mischievously funny -- and those that had sad or serious aspects reached me much more forcefully than Andersen's.

 

As I said in another post, fairy tales and fables also made for the first audiobooks I owned, in the form of vinyl records that I learned to play way before I had reached elementary school and "reading" age.

 

(Task (Zuñi & Hopi / Native American): While systems of written symbols and communication already existed with the Pre-Columbian Native American cultures, to many tribes even today (including the Zuñi and Hopi) the oral tradition is still important.  Have you ever had stories told to you (e.g., as children’s bedtime stories, or at night during a camping vacation)?  Or if you haven’t, try to imagine a “storytelling” situation you’d like to experience?

Unicrosn, Magic, and Slime - Misty Black
Diaries of a Dragon - Beatriz Rare
Once Upon and Ever After - Caroline L. Thornton
Sophia and the Popcorn Dragon - Tommy Walker

Stand outs in this group are

 

12 Days of Great White Christmas - parody of the 12 days using sharks.  It includes a fact section at the end.  It's quite well done and fun. 5 stars.

 

Diaries of a Dragon - I wasn't sure about this one, but the artwork and the story match each other pretty darn well. It was sweet. 3.5 stars

 

Once Upon and Ever After - most likely the best of this batch.  5 stars.  It deals with how the prince is affected by sterotypes as well as princesses.

 

What the Fox Learnt - pretty good retellings of Aesop tales about foxes.  Three stars.

 

Champ and Nessie - actually makes good use of Nessie and Champ to teach about earth history. 3 stars

 

Sun and the Moon - good retelling of the Korean tale.  3 stars

 

Sophia and the Popcorn Dragon - a bit too cute, but woc so that was cool.  3 stars.

 

Unicorns, Magic and Slime -predictable but fun.  3 stars

 

Dollhouse Elf -(not pictured) not bad, predictable. 

 

To be missed

 

The farting book - the whole thing about dad working around in his boxers was a bit strange.

 

I Spy - the word scarf is missed spell.

Misc Children's Books Part 1
Be Bold! Be Brave! Chiquitos: 11 Latinas Who Made US History - Naibe Reynoso,Jone Leal
The Little Horse - Luke Helmer
Mosque - David Macaulay
Aesop's Fables Box Set 1 - Reading Eggs
Mama's Daycare - Swapan Debnath,Ngozi Edema
The Perfect Potty Zoo: The Funniest ABC ... The Perfect Potty Zoo: The Funniest ABC Book (Potty Training Book, Rhyming Book for Kids 2-5 Years Old, Toddler Book, potty training books for toddlers, potty book) - Agnes Green,Zhanna Mendel
The Big Splash - Ed Ouano
Arial the Chef - Mary Nhin,Jelena Stupar
It's Not Easy Being a Unicorn - Beatriz Rare
Kaulele The White Fairy Tern - Carleigh Vollbrecht

With the exception of Mosque, I picked these up for free.

 

Mosque is good, and if you have read the author's other books, it is like those.

 

Be Brave! Be Bold! is actually pretty good and is about famous Latinias.  While I know the book is intended for a young audience, there could have been a bit more in the bios about the women at the end.

 

The Little Horse is a Christian story about a horse who was present at Christ's birth.  It is actually one of the better ones.  It reminded me of Nestor the Long Eared Christmas Donkey or the Little Drummer Boy Christmas shows.

 

The Aesop Box Set  contains a few fables, but the illustrations are good.  It's nice.

 

Mama Daycare is a sweet book that presents the fear of going to school for the first time in a different way.  It was cute.

 

The Perfect Potty Book is extactly as advertised.

 

Arial Chef - not the best, but the bits at the end about how to make Sushi were nice.

 

Big Splash - good if you like Dinos

 

It's Not Easy Being Unicorn and Kaulele the Fairy Tern are the best two.  Wonderful story about unicorn that you can see being adapted by Pixar.  Interesting story about a bird.
