- Abstract
- en_US Five fables begin this reader: The Wolf and the Kid, FS, TMCM, BF, and Spot and her Friends. There is a verse rendition of the first of these. Two things save the kid here; the kid, as regularly, peeps through the window to see who knocks, and a hunter comes by to shoot the wolf. BF is five lines of verse. I do not think a reader could learn the story from this brief rendition! The last of these stories is new to me. It is a verse story by Phoebe Cary about a calf named Spot. The farmer asks one morning who shut the barn door. Apparently all the animals think that this was a bad thing to do. They always make Spot, who happens to be away, take the blame, and so they blame her now. When she comes back, the farmer congratulates her for doing the right thing. All the animals proclaim her a hero, and she answers Boo! I do not know what Boo! means here. There are from one to three simple illustrations per fable. This book is in fair condition at best.
