Abstract

en_US Squids will be Squids: Fresh Morals, Beastly Fables was originally published by Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers in 1998. Here is the French version, published a year later. The book seems to be reinforced between both covers and the end papers. Those endpapers have dutifully translated the names of each of the animals represented by small simple early figures. There is a curious second color around the outside edges of the endpapers from, apparently, a thin covering put over the whole cover and wrapped around onto the endpapers. The book carries a small library label at the bottom of the spine. Let me include comments I made on the original publication. This is a thoroughly delightful book squarely in the Aesopic tradition and great for young people. This is a book I would think of giving to Sonja. Eighteen fables, more or less, illustrated in the tradition I love from their earlier The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales. Elephant comes back three times with mosquito, flea, and gnat respectively. The very serious historical afterword points out that Aesop was thrown off a cliff for his fables; moral: If you are planning to write fables, don't forget to change the people into animals and avoid places with high cliffs.
