Publisher's Summary
Heather Forest, a 20-year veteran professional storyteller, says,"I became a storyteller as a direct extension of singing old folk ballads which contained tales." Early in her career, she began to create contemporary versions of traditional folktales from around the world. Forest created The Animals Could Talk for family audiences.
"This [collection] has many levels, from simple plot to catchy melodies, to underlying political commentary. It can be enjoyed by adults and children together."
Among the 19 Aesop's Fables included are "The Ox and the Frog", "The Oak and the Bramble", "A Father, a Son, and a Donkey", "Look Before You Leap", "A Bundle of Sticks", and "Beautiful as You Are."

What the critics say
"Heather Forest knows that the strength of a soft, gentle moral can have greater impact than one that trumpets its truth with thunder and fury." (Milwaukee Journal)
