- Abstract
- en_US Sixteen heavy pages fully illustrated in color. 10" x 10¾". Several things are curious about this lively rendition of the traditional fable. The artist has a good time with people's faces and particularly their eyes. Ralph is rolling around laughing when they first come. Some of these villagers bring muskets. Storyteller and summarizer on the last page may see the story differently. The former writes "There was no stopping Ralph, however. Every time he was bored, every time the sun, the clouds, the birds and the bees couldn't entertain him, he would go back to his silly trick." "Every time." The summarizer writes on the back cover "He cried 'Wolf!' once. He cried 'Wolf!' twice. But what happened when he cried 'Wolf!' the third time?" A final curiosity comes then from the summarizer: "Did people rush to help him? Or they didn't?" I have never heard an alternative question phrased that way. Originally printed in 2013.
