Abstract

en_US Harcourt Brace published Tortoise's Flying Lesson in 1994; my copy seems to be from 1995. Here is a Danish version. As I wrote then, it contains eight children's stories very colorfully illustrated. The monkey gets the crocodiles to form a bridge across the river to the mango tree. Father Bear selects gentle hare to take care of his cubs. Tortoise's Flying Lesson, well told, is identified as an Aesop's fable. In it, a good eagle gives the tortoise rides for a week, and then the tortoise claims that he is ready to fly. The result is only that the tortoise feels a bit of a wreck. The tortoise blames the eagle for not teaching him how to land! Grandmother Rabbit and the Bossy Lion is the old fable about the rabbit who leads the lion to face his competitor in the well; here the offerings are to begin with the smallest, and Grandmother Rabbit thus volunteers first. The Very Small Tabby Cat has the cat learning that there is another way than being big to have people look up to her. When the bluebird changed to its blue, so did the coyote, but he forgot to let the color dry, picked up a lot of dust, and ever since has been dusty gray. In The Friendly Lion, a mouse (not the usual hare) thinks the world is ending when a coconut falls near him. The last story is the traditional fable in which the hare gets the elephant and hippo into a tug-of-war with each other while thinking they are battling with her. Both the texts and the art are well done in this book.
