- Abstract
- en_US The steady stream of German fable books for children continues with this collection of 25 fables. The approach of this book involves expanding the fables into engaging short stories, which run to five, six, or seven pages, including a pleasing variety of illustration sizes. The tale of the fox visiting the ailing lion has him, as usual, standing outside the lion's cave, but the illustration on 17 has him standing before the lion's throne. The cat interrogating the bat has a napkin around his neck and a fork in his hand (62). No pressure! The ant supplies the dung-beetle enough to get him through winter, and the latter has learned his lesson (72). New to me is "Der Kampf der Schlangen," at least in its choice of characters (83-87). One snake is assured of the help of some frogs as he fights another snake, but the frogs do nothing during the battle. Confronted afterwards, they say "We croaked. That's all we can do!" The snake learned whom he can trust. Lion and bear wear boxing gloves for their exhausting fight before the fox carries away the prize (106-109). The turtle who wanted to learn to fly was lucky to have a strong shell when the eagle dropped him (114). Among the best illustrations might be the full-page presentation of FS (51). These two characters also appear in an excellent design on the title-page. There are repeated floral designs on the bottom of each left and right-hand page, and the two designs are repeated in larger form on the book's last page.
