Texas Aesop's Fables

"The fables are fun to read, and they provide easy-to-understand lessons for young Texans."
--Abilene Reporter-News

In thirty-three parables, master storyteller David Davis retells age-old lessons about life, fairness, and honesty with a Texas twist. From classic stories, such as "The Goose that Laid the Golden Eggs," to new western legends, like "The Cowpoke Who Fooled His Friends," this collection teaches children the importance of telling the truth and treating everyone with respect.

Every short story ends with a summary of the moral learned, and colorful illustrations make each tale an adventure for all readers. From the beautiful prairie godmother who grants wishes in the Guadalupe River to the sneaky coyote who tricks all the animals he encounters, every character adds Texas magic and humor to these timeless fables.
