- Abstract
- en_US This pleasant tale with expressive, large-scale illustrations (back cover) seems to draw together two common folktales. From the first comes the monkey's choice of one half of the tree (the top half) because he insists that they must share the tree immediately. From the second comes the Brer Rabbit trick. When the monkey is ready to destroy the turtle, the turtle says Please, oh please, don't throw me into the water! Of course the monkey does, and that is the turtle's home. I enjoy Galdone's work.
