Aesop's Fables

Aesop was a slave that lived 2,500 years ago.The fables Aesop wrote usually had a moral or a lesson. Like in the "Lion and the Mouse", the moral is no matter how small you are, yo can still help others. In the "Tortoise and the Hare", the moral for the fable is slow and steady wins the race. But when Aesop told his fables he could sadly never write them down. But because of Aesop's fables his master let him free from being a slave. Aesop died later but everyone remembered his fables.

Margaret Mahy

Margaret Mahy died at the age 76 and she had a type of illness thats how she died. Margaret Mahy won in the childrens book awards. It was very sad to hear on the news at Papatoetoe School Library that she had died. She wasn't really good at cooking, but she made yum sandwiches and Margaret Mahy also loved salads. She was born in Whakatane in the Bay of Plenty in New Zealander.
Some of famous her books are
