Abstract
This book offers 61 fables, usually about two pages in length, each with multiple computer-generated colored illustrations. The book, about 7" x 10", is 128 pages long. The front cover surrounds the lion jumping into the well at the urging of the "victim" rabbit with smaller illustrations from fables like CP and GA. There is a T of C on 3-4. As far as I can tell, neither the illustrations nor the texts come from other Manoj fable publications. Several of the fables I sampled have different versions from the usual. The ant in GA can give the grasshopper only a few grains (11). The grasshopper learns to work hard the next summer. The fox apologizes to the stork for his behavior (25). Similarly, in TB, the selfish traveler learns to care for his comrade through the rest of their journey (41). The lion kicked last by the ass says nothing about the ass. "Now that I am weak, all the animals are attacking me. This is a sign of a weakling" (47). The book is in a series of almost twenty books, generally "Best of" something.
