Abstract

en_US There are five stories in this book. I ordered this one for the collection because of the title of the first: The Story of Anna, Buddy, and the Country Mouse. That story is utterly charming, together with its colored lithographs. The author frequently pauses to note to the reader elements of a picture that the reader might miss. There is a first visit to a town, complete with a visit to a restaurant for tea, but in this case the two dogs sit nicely at a table and order, while Homer the mouse gets on top of the table. The three then again travel by bus back to the country. The five stories are interspersed with illustrations for traditional rhymes, including Sing a Song of Sixpence. Indeed, it is the art that makes this book, along with the charm of whimsical local stories. Coppin was serving in the armed forces overseas during World War II and wrote these stories for his son David, to whom the book is dedicated. There is a picture of David facing the Publisher's Introduction at the book's beginning.
