- Abstract
- en_US This landscape-formatted volume, found by chance on eBay, has helped me to discover a new series, now complete in this collection through its seventh member. The older Nacho reads to the younger Tobi from this book on a log in winter, with their dog nearby. A full-page cartoon of them precedes each fable and another follows each. Both regularly have a relation to the fable itself. Thus the first fable, FWT, follows on the dog's comment -- as he buries his head in a hole in the log -- that he is a perro rabon. The full page following then has Nacho advising Tobi to give him the TV remote lest it burn his hand. Watch out for advice from those seeking their own advantage. At the end of the next fable, The Worker and His Sons, Nacho, playing with Tobi in the dirt, tells his mother that the greatest treasure is labor. She responds that her two little treasures give her lots of work! To apply the fable of the bats claiming at one time to be a bird at another a rodent, we see Tobi's father painting. The boy wants to help. You're too little. I am not little. I am big! You could put the newspapers on the couch. I don't do that. I am little. The Schoolboy and the Pedant here is transformed into a story of a female teacher who, after lecturing the child, pulls him from the water and then demands And what do you say? He tries to say Thank you but only spits a fountain of water onto her face! The last fable is new to me: a group of musicians cannot get it right together and blame each other. These cartoons and fables would engage a young reader. Text and ballooned sayings in the illustrations complement each other in presenting the story. The visual style includes remnants of the early pencil version of many cartoons. The effect is good, I believe. This booklet continues to employ the kind of irony children enjoy in TV cartoons.
