Many of Grimm’s fairy tales contain fables. Although, I would go for the modernized versions of these stories, as the originals can be quite violent and strange. Or you could try Aesop’s fables.

One of the best and my favourites as a child was Cautionary Tales by Edward Gorey and Hilaire Belloc. They’re lots of little rhymes with pictures which are quite funny while also teaching.

Amazon page where you can read a few pages to see the style:

Also this is one of the poems:

MATILDA

by: Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953)

WHO TOLD LIES, AND WAS BURNED TO DEATH

MATILDA told such Dreadful Lies,

It made one Gasp and Stretch one’s Eyes;

Her Aunt, who, from her Earliest Youth,

Had kept a Strict Regard for Truth,

Attempted to Believe Matilda:

The effort very nearly killed her,

And would have done so, had not She

Discovered this Infirmity.

For once, towards the Close of Day,

Matilda, growing tired of play,

And finding she was left alone,

Went tiptoe to the Telephone

And summoned the Immediate Aid

Of London’s Noble Fire-Brigade.

Within an hour the Gallant Band

Were pouring in on every hand,

From Putney, Hackney Downs, and Bow.

With Courage high and Hearts a-glow,

They galloped, roaring through the Town,

‘Matilda’s House is Burning Down!’

Inspired by British Cheers and Loud

Proceeding from the Frenzied Crowd,

They ran their ladders through a score

Of windows on the Ball Room Floor;

And took Peculiar Pains to Souse

The Pictures up and down the House,

Until Matilda’s Aunt succeeded

In showing them they were not needed;

And even then she had to pay

To get the Men to go away!

It happened that a few Weeks later

Her Aunt was off to the Theatre

To see that Interesting Play

The Second Mrs. Tanqueray.

She had refused to take her Niece

To hear this Entertaining Piece:

A Deprivation Just and Wise

To Punish her for Telling Lies.

That Night a Fire did break out–

You should have heard Matilda Shout!

You should have heard her Scream and Bawl,

And throw the window up and call

To People passing in the Street–

(The rapidly increasing Heat

Encouraging her to obtain

Their confidence) — but all in vain!

For every time she shouted ‘Fire!’

They only answered ‘Little Liar!’

And therefore when her Aunt returned,

Matilda, and the House, were Burned.

There are a few in the Bible. There are a few in Science.

A man named Albert Einstein once did some math on things and it conflicted with what he thought was reality (steady state of the Universe) so he DOCTORED HIS FIGURES, he CHANGED his math and LO! It got proven that the UNIVERSE is NOT in steady state but EXPANDS as his original MATH established, but he didn’t buy into it so he CHANGED IT TO FIT THE MODEL

He called it the WORST MISTAKE HE EVER MADE

And what do we learn.

If you GOT you MATH RIGHT it must be REAL

MATH doesn’t lie when it’s CORRECT

If the MATH doesn’t support the MODEL, then there might be something wrong with the MODEL

If 2+2=4 and that CONFLICTS with the MODEL and you check and re-check your math and it’s correct, you have to START assuming the MODEL might be WRONG

Aesop – just about all of the stories list the moral at the end.

The Spider and the Fly (by Mary Howitt) is a classic piece of poetry used a lot. Text is available here:

http://www.ongoing-tales.com/SERIALS/oldtime/POETRY/spiderfly.html

It was recently republished as a story book with Gorey/Burton-esque illustrations:

Speaking of Gorey – there is a publication of Hilaire Belloc’s Cautionary Tales for Children with illustrations by Edward Gorey which might also be appropriate:

Hope you find something that works!
