Abstract

en_US This is my seventh book illustrated by Monique Gorde, and it seems distinct from the other six. Here are thirty-one fables illustrated on 78 pages in a large-format children's book 9 x 10½. As always, Gorde imbues her work with a good deal of humor. Is that the same slavering fox that she has shown elsewhere in FG (12)? The scene for Le Laboureur et ses enfants (26-27) is particularly well done: mother looks down from an oval portrait as dying father gestures with his finger to three sons who seem either non-challant or Mad-magazine non-comprehending! The laboring ox looks out of the corner of his eye at the expanding and soon to be bursting frog (28). Country mouse wears sunglasses on 39. A tear comes out of the cicada's eye in GA (46). The illustration for FWT is rather graphic (76-77)! Lito 44901.
