In nature, creatures come in all shapes and sizes. They inhabit the water, the land, and the air. The three animal pairings in Aesop Variations are inspired by the ancient fables of Aesop. Their stories highlight some of the similarities and differences to be found throughout this planet we call home. They learn from one another as we learn from them. With each story, we enter into the colorful imagination of the animal kingdom.
