Abstract

en_US The book works in the direction of helping children to know animals. There are five Aesopic fables: LM, The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, GA, The Fox and the Goat, and DS. The mouse is tickling the lion's nose. LM is followed by a verse version, a good exercise on cause and effect, and Leo Lionni's Swimmy for comparison. The wolf rolls on the ground among the flock to pick up wool. Soon he becomes fat and so cannot run as fast as the other wolves. The wolf is caught, cooked, and eaten. This fable and The Fox and the Goat are both followed by antiphonal adaptations for classroom presentation. Flossie and the Fox is offered here for comparison. The moral of The Fox and the Goat is Don't expect a person to whom you have done a kindness to be kind to you. The moral of GA is He who plays all the time may have to suffer for it. DS is followed by a good tune, sung to London Bridges. A little gold mine.
