- Abstract
- en_US This book advertises an animated video, but if one goes to the site and uses the code, one learns that offerings before 2015 are no longer available. Apparently, one should buy another book instead! As I wrote about our other book in this collection, GA, there is an elaborate frame story in this landscape book 9½" x 8¾". Aesop (dog); Libbit (rabbit); Presy (fox); and the Shorties (pigs) are friends who put on plays. "Aesop's Theatre Series." In this book, Aesop writes a play about the wind and sun. That play is the traditional fable. Aesop plays the sun and wears a bright red necklace with burning light bulbs at the points of its star. Shorties play the wind and Libbit the traveler. The bet here,is about "who will blow off his coat first" and is proposed by the sun. The point is "Strength isn't everything." After the play comes a more personal application. The light bulbs on Aesop's sun costume explode. He experiences that he was trying to demonstrate power. "It is better to be kind than to use force." Descriptions, questions and key words close out the book. There are some ten books in this collection,
