- Description is exactly "1923 Aesop's Fables: Kroma-Paket. Kroma Paket No. 1. Pictures to Color--A New Kind of Outline Reproduction. Sandusky, OH/NY: The American Crayon Company. $18 from Lisa Bouchard, Melrose, MA, through eBay, Jan., '13.
The pictures are acknowledged as coming from The Aesop for Children with pictures by Milo Winter, published by Rand McNally & Company. The cover shows the rooster telling the fox to come up, while the "doorman" dog awaits the fox inside the tree's opening. The package includes two colored illustrations, SS and "The Cock and the Fox." This set includes five "outline sketches" still waiting to be colored in and six rather well executed by someone with crayons. "The Wolf and the Kid" may be missing, as it is indicated on one of the three sheets of specific color instructions for each outline. The child is assumed not to need instructions for the two already colored illustrations. The three added sheets are fascinating. One advertises The Aesop for Children. Another advertises "Kroma Paket Awards." A third shows "How to Use Kroma Water Colors" and "How to Use Kroma Crayons.""
