Publisher's Synopsis
Inspired by Aesop's classic fables and Bill Martin Jr's friendship and books, Lyle Lee Jenkins wrote Sour Grapes: Aesop's Fooling Yourself Fable. Kitty Love's adorable fox makes numerous attempts to snatch and eat the luscious grapes with no success. Who would have thought a simple fable could create so much fun with art and words? Together, the vivid language and exciting art create an enjoyable book for beginning readers. These fortunate children will never forget learning the history behind "sour grapes."
The Aesop Patterns for Young Readers series is unique among fables for children because they are specifically written for beginning readers, ages 4-7. After hearing parents, other adults or older children read Sour Grapes a few times, children will quickly pick up the patterns and learn to read the book for themselves.
