Here is a book for Spanish language-learners: 101 Spanish Proverbs: Understanding Spanish Language and Culture through Common Sayings by Eduardo Aparicio.
The book is organized by themes into 7 sections: Good Advice, Young and Old, etc. Each proverb has the Spanish version, a literal English translation, along with an equivalent English saying. There is a cartoon for each proverb (the illustrations are by Luc Nisset-Raidon), plus a dialogue illustrating the proverb's use in actual speech. The dialogues are not translated on the proverb page, but there are translations int the back of the book.
The dialogues are a really nice feature of this book; that's not something I've seen in other books of proverbs for language learners, but now I will be on the lookout to see if I can find more.
