OP: Hey, looking for a board book series from when I was a kid! It was traditional fairy tales and fables, and the part I really remember is the illustrations! I'm sure if I see those illustrations I'll know it's the right book!
Me: Care to describe these illustrations? Even a little? Were they brightly colorful or more muted, or maybe black and white? Were they realistic or cartoony?
OP: Oh, they looked similar to the hare and the tortoise board game! Like, when I saw that I first thought it was the books!
Me: Oh, I guess you're gonna make me google that instead of providing a link, cool.
Guys, it turns out there are at least
five different editions of this game, each one with a totally different art style.
Meanwhile, on a different thread on the same post:
Other Commenter: Could it be Aesop's fables?
Me, silently: WTF, buddy? That's not a suggestion.
OP: Oh, no, it was more colorful than that!
Me, a bit less silently: WTF? Like... what edition are we talking about? You need to help us help you!
All comments are paraphrased, but seriously.
Edit:
I am absolutely dying at this point to ask who, exactly, OP thinks Aesop is, but that conversation is not going to go anywhere productive. I'd really better forget the whole thing.
