Abstract

en_US Here is a new version of a book already in the collection, but from a new publisher and with a more engaging visual artist. Two stories have been added since the 1991 edition in the collection: "Phoebe" and "Sally." Phoebe is a bee who smells the flowers all summer instead of making honey. But then a bear comes and steals the honey. Phoebe is happy that she smells the flowers! Sally is a slow raindrop who ends up because of her slowness not in a big mudpuddle but in a lovely rainbow. The characters in most stories here are identified as specific animals. Genevieve in the first story seems to be a human in the text but is well pictured as a cat. That shift takes something of the sting out of praising her carelessness. Caleb and Conrad in the last story are also humans, but the illustrations of them move towards ducks or chicks, I think. The book was apparently first published in 1978 by Lippincott. There are now nine enjoyable stories. Good fun!
