- Abstract
- en_US A Caldecott Award winner, and rightly so. One-page tales, perhaps animal short stories rather than fables, face excellent illustrations. The best are perhaps The Hen and the Apple Tree and The Elephant and the Sun, but also good are King Lion and the Beetle, Baboon's Umbrella, The Ostrich in Love, The Poor Old Dog, The Pelican and the Crane, and The Mouse at the Seashore. Contrast Camel with the Aesopic fable on the same subject. The Ryan copy has two curious changes. The price has gone up from $4.95 to $5.95, and there is no longer mention on the verso of the title-page of the First Harper Trophy Edition, 1983. I will keep all three in the collection.
