Abstract

en_US This booklet is about 8¾" square. Its 40 pages are unpaginated. It is copyrighted by Sigal Adler and seems personally published. Rhyming quatrains on each left-hand page respond to full-page colored illustrations on right-hand pages. In this version, the youngest of four brothers is at last eager to have his own flock, like his bigger brothers. Adler sets up the story well by describing the attacks of the wolves from the mountains adjacent to the grazing fields – and the brothers' ability to work together to fend them off. For some reason, the wolves here wear scarves! Disappointed at the boredom then of the actual experience, the young brother calls for them to help as they had promised they would. They scold him when he laughs at them. He does try it a second time, and they become even angrier and threaten to tell their father. That night around the family table they do not tell their father. A few days later he is considering redoing his trick when he actually does see a wolf. He goes to his brothers but they still will not help. So he makes a stand himself against the wolf. He fights courageously but the wolf bloodies him and carries off two sheep. In the end he stands bleeding before his father and brothers, having learned his lesson. The back cover offers a sub-title: "The High Price of Telling Lies." Simple art, perhaps computer generated.
