Fable Comics is a collection of fables re-told in this graphic novel. This compilation of fables was created with by 26 contributors. 

I would give this book a 25/30. This is a really fun book that many kids will love. I wouldn't really consider this book to be diverse. However, I do think that this book is really culturally relevant and the illustrations are stunning, in that each fable is made different from the last. The book may not fit my criteria super well of what I would consider to be high quality literature very well, however this book is still really wonderful to have to engage those readers in the classroom who enjoy graphic novels, and to support learning in multiple ways. This book would also be great to compare to the original story and try to figure out how the creators took the original stories and made them into these great short comic fables. I would recommend this book for 3rd through 7th grade.
