- Abstract
- en_US This colloquial children's rhyming verse includes TH, "Three Little Pigs," and TMCM. The fables' plots are both unusual. The hare's beginning burst includes putting tortoise into the "bunny-cloud stink" of a fart. "What does bunny stink smell like? I'll give you a clue. It smells like when carrots come out in a poo." The hare gets sucked in by a dance party while tortoise attends to her journey. "Honey moves slowly, and it is the sweetest. A life lived attentively is the completest." TMCM begins, as in La Fontaine, with the female mouse Paulie in the city inviting her male cousin Grayson to a party. Paulie has nine hats to choose from and a bevy of diminutive friends. The diminutive friends are surprising because they include a rhinoceros, a pig, and others. Gray is suitably struck by the city's magnificence and Paulie's. When a cat appears, all the "friends" scatter, and Grayson has to grab Paulie to bring her to safety, "Escaping Cat's big fishy-stinky-breath mouth." They run all the way to Gray's nest. Rustic friends come over and share a good time toasting marshmallows. "Grayson said, 'See? You don't need all that stuff.' Paulie said, 'True friends are more than enough.'" Pleasing verse is matched by endearing art.
