Squids Will Be Squids, Paperback

Sure we'd all love to be able to go around telling stories about all the weird, scary, and just-plain-annoying people that we know. But the truth is, no one likes a gossip. Here, the irrepressible Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith have found a way around that problem-they just make like Aesop and change all the people to animals or food, add a moral to each story, and call the stories fables With tales like -Little Walrus, - in which too much of the truth is a dangerous thing, the cautionary -Slug's Big Moment, - wherein Slug is so caught up in herself that she doesn't see the steamroller behind her, and -Straw and Matches, - which illustrates quite clearly why you should never play with matches (because they cheat), the eighteen fables in this uproarious collection are sure to delight readers both young and old.
