- Abstract
- en_US There is already a copy of this book in the collection. One thing has changed in this copy. The Basic Vocabulary Series, listed facing the title-page, now has not seven but fifteen titles. I will repeat my comments on the other copy. This book is similar to Aesop's Stories for Pleasure Reading (1951), also by the Dolches. Almost all of the twenty stories here are fables. They include The Camel and the Pig, The Goat and the Wolf, How the Rabbit Fooled the Whale and the Elephant, The Jackal and the Camel, TT, The Bear Says North, The Hare and the Hedgehog, The Duck and the Squirrel, The Blind Men and the Elephant. The Deer and the Lion, The Camel and the Tent, The Ape and the Firefly, The Four Friends, The Big Moose, The Hungry Wolf, and The Rabbit and the Monkey. After some coaching from the squirrel, Mrs. Duck now thinks that chickens fly better than she does (63); I think something went askew in this story. A deer, not a hare, tricks the lion into the well (75). The firefly gets ten apes in succession to hurt each other while trying to hurt him (83). The book uses 220 basic words and 95 of the most common nouns. That limitation contributes to the simplicity of the tellings. The illustrations, one per story, are (as in the other Dolch reader) almost crayonings of simple black-and-whites.
