Which edition is this based on?
The public-domain Milo Winter 1919 edition, with its beautiful illustrations. We keep the archaic flavor and swap only words that have since become crude, so the fables stay charming for a child.
What comes in a companion guide?
Each companion guide covers eleven fables and contains single-sentence (Level-1) copywork and drawn-narration pages. The printed moral and vocabulary are not in the companion guide; the moral stays optional in the read-aloud itself.
What is free?
Printable character cards and coloring pages, sent when you join the email list.
When is it available?
Aesop's Fables is launching now. Join the email list and we will tell you the moment the readings and the free cards and coloring pages are ready.
We do the planning. The books come alive. Your child does the learning.
