Editorial reviews

Friendship and loyalty are the dominant themes in The Bear, the Bat, and the Dove, a memorable performance of three of Aesop's lesser-known fables. Voice actor Rob Cleveland brings empathy and kindness to his reading of this trio of complementary stories, which feature a bear spouting wisdom, a bat who can't make up his mind whose side he's on, and the curious friendship between a dove and an ant. Like all of Aesop's fables, these three entertain young listeners while teaching them important life lessons.

Publisher's Summary

When you think of Aesop's Fables, you probably think of "The Tortoise and the Hare" or "Country Mouse and City Mouse". In this collection, Rob Cleveland brings you three of Aesop's lesser-known but equally powerful fables. You will learn why bats fly at night, why you should pick your friends carefully, and why even a tiny ant could be your guardian angel.

Illustrated by Baird Hoffmire.
