Aesop for Children

Only 3 ratings for a wonderful app of interactive Aesop’s Fables that our U.S. government made for us? That’s pretty sad more people don’t care.

I love using this app to teach theme to my fifth graders. They love the fables and are challenged to put the moral into their own words. I wish the fables were numbered in the contents so we could locate particular stories more easily.

Looks terrible on my iPhone 6

This has it all: illustrations, elongated versions of the stories, and statements of the morals of each story. Thank you! I hope my child loves it as much as I do!

I remember hearing a lot of these stories as a little kid. It's a great app if you like fable, and the illustrations are nice too. I have only a couple of minor complaints. Most significantly, The Wolf and the Shepherd is included twice, and some of the stories are missing pictures. On two of them, there are embedded videos, which unfortunately take up the full screen if you play them. And the animations on the pictures that you have to touch to start don't always play their sounds. Still, this is a great collection, a great app, and a great choice for the Library of Congress to display as work in the public domain. I'd like to see them do this with more classic works. Maybe some American literature?

A wonderful way to read to a kid without too many distracting bells and whistles, but a little extra something that a regular book can't offer.

I'm so glad to have stumbled upon this gigantic collection. Each story has a hand drawn illustration and sometimes animations to go along with a wonderful little story. Of which there is many, as well as a life lesson to sum it all up. Truly, even as adults we can learn to enjoy and appreciate these old tales. The best part??? They are free! Highly recommend this to everyone!
