Feed Me!

by William H. Hooks, Aesop, Doug Cushman (Illustrator)

A mother lark knows her babies are safe in the cornfield as long as the farmer is depending on others to help cut the corn. But what will she do when the farmer decides to cut it himself? Aesop's clasic fable is charmingly retold in simple narrative, perfect for reading aloud.

This is a fun retelling of the Aesop fable, "The Lark in the Cornfield." The narrative is fun to read, with lots of simple dialogue and colorful pictures. We especially loved the funny, fuzzy bird who always had something different to say from her siblings. I would not call this a "Level 1" story, however. I would consider it a "Level 2."
