Reading Notes: Fables of La Fontaine, Part A

(image from "The Wolf and the Fox" by Tilney, source) 

I’ve heard the “Hare and the Tortoise” story countless times, but I really enjoyed that this one was in the form of a poem. I like the idea of re-writing this story but making it so that the tortoise and hare can only talk in rhymes. 

I love the illustrations in this unit, especially from “The Dog and his Image.” Also the “Wolf and the Fox.” I feel lie I could write a story only based on the images. 

Another story I liked was “The Monkey and the Cat” because I thought the two animals had an interesting dynamic.
