The New York Times has released there 2009 Holiday Gift Guide here.  One of their categories is "Best Illustrated Children’s Books of 2009" and it includes the above book, which I've been hearing about for a few months now.  I think that might be my book purchase for one of my son's and it's only $9.93 at Amazon.

I was a big fan of Aesop's fables as a kid and really enjoyed reading my illustrated book that has since gone missing.  I would love to pass on my joy for these stories to my son.
