Aesop For Children
“Aesop's Fables”—also called “the Aesopica”—are a collection of stories designed to teach moral lessons credited to Aesop, a Greek slave and story-teller thought to have lived between 620 and 560 BCE.
Aesop's fables are some of the most well known in the world and have been translated in multiple languages and become popular in dozens of cultures through the course of five centuries. They have been told and retold in a variety of media, from oral tradition to written storybooks to stage, film and animated cartoon versions—even in architecture.
The fables remain a popular choice for moral education of children today. Younger scholars will be able to trace the origin of aphorisms such as “sour grapes” and “a bird in the hand.”
This interactive ebook is presented by the Library of Congress, adapted from the book “The Aesop for Children: with Pictures by Milo Winter,” published by Rand, McNally & Co in 1919. This work is considered to be in the public domain in the United States.

Can't see text.
Cannot enlarge the print and some of the pages do not fully load. Very disappointed.
Terrible app. No sound and print is soooo small even 20/20 eyes can't read it. Deceiving app. Uninstalling immediately!
A faithful and interactive version meticulously assembled by the LOC. Unfortunately, the display is too small for my Nexus. There doesn't appear to be an option to zoom or view horizontally. It looks great on my wife's iPad, though. I assume it works just as well on other tablets too.
The app seems really cool, but is probably tablet only. The text and images are tiny on my phone. This leaves the app unusable on my phone.
Like many other reviewers the content is too small to read I have to screen shot every story so I can zoom in enough to read the font.
Great idea but too small, no rotation. No zoom. Galaxy S4
I study English Through the fable. It helps english and understant Aesop of 600 BC.
I think this a great book. I use this all at school and I think I learn a lot of how fables are written
Text to tiny to read, must have been designed by Democrats
Great Database but too small
This app doesn't fit with smartphone screen. Everything are too small, can't read, can't zoom.. .
Great. I love them all. ♥
The words are too small to read. No option to resize.no screen rotation :-(
WASSUP
I just installed this app before I saw the reviews about the microscopic print. I am truly disappoint as an avid reader, parent, and educator for the government website I scribe to just suggested this to me. App creators please reconfigure the microscopic size of the text, so it will be a better app for those of us who would like to use it for our enjoyment, our, children, and our students. Thank you in advance for your time and attention.
Very small text. Unreadable on Galaxy 7. Uninstalled immediately. Looks like it would be good if readable. Sad.
I could not read the small print on this app. I could not zoom to make the print bigger. I could not rotate my phone sideways to make the print bigger. I'm only rating on inability to read and not the content of this app as I could not read it.
This opens the secrets of life. I like to spend my time meditating these stories.
Proudly reading for the next generation
Not yet updated for Android 10? Bad format of text, very small. I had this on an iPhone a few years back and it was formatted very well. I hope it gets an update.
