Abstract

en_US This is apparently a gift of a German company still operating in Stuttgart. I have found another book by Hubbuch on the web from 1964, and so I guess at the date. This booklet offers four fables of three to ten pages each, with spirited brown illustrations shaped around the rhyming texts. Only right-hand pages are printed with text or cartoons. "Der Floh" tells the story of an elephant that foolishly accepted the request of a home made by a flea. The flea settled in his ear and drove him crazy, literally running in circles, right up to the day when that weak ear occasioned his being shot by hunters. "No mercy for fleas!" "Der Rabe und der Spatz" presents a crow that thinks too long about why a particle of bacon lies beneath the branch on which he sits. While he thinks, a sparrow flies away with the bacon. "Die Fliege" tells of a young fly that needs to experience for himself the threats his father has outlined from abstract knowledge. The first spider's web gets him. "Der Frosch Quak-Quak" is for me the best of the lot. Quak-Quak has to do everything better than all the other frogs. In concert, he needs to sing louder, and that means drawing in more and more breath. Hubbuch has Quak-Quak ending where the tradition had that other frog ending, who had heard of a large animal…. This little book is not in Bodemann. It is fun.
