Baby's Own Aesop

"Baby's Own Aesop" presents the fables as one-stanza limericks, each "pictorially pointed" by Walter Crane, the noted painter and illustrator. He apprenticed to master wood-engraver, William James Linton, who furnished the draft of the book's poems for Crane to edit. "Baby's Own Aesop" is available in a beautiful facsimile edition [http://www.childrenslibrary.org/icdl/SaveBook?bookid=crababy_00150086&lang=English] of colored engravings from the International Children's Digital Library, with which your child can read along while listening to the recording.
