- Abstract
- en_US Copyright 1973 by The Paternoster Press Ltd. The story is taken from White's Jungle Doctor's Monkey Tales. In this adaptation of DLS, Toto, the monkey in the lion's skin, proclaims to his acquaintances that he is not a monkey any more and has become a lion. Having tried to dissuade him, Boohoo the Hippo wisely opines Perhaps the best way to teach a monkey something is to let him find out for himself. Good thinking, Boohoo! The leopard approaches, and Toto declares that he is not afraid, even if the hippo and giraffe are afraid. Soon, Toto becomes afraid and has to cry for help and to run. Twiga the Giraffe ends up saving Toto from the end of the limb on which he had isolated himself while the leopard waited on the same limb nearer the tree's trunk. The final page offers a Christian proclamation. In order to become a real Christian, a boy or girl has to be born all over again and become a new creature. Acting like a Christian won't do it. The early pictures of the monkey in the lion's skin are clever. The book's most dramatic picture has the leopard springing after the desperate Toto as he runs away. I noticed that there are other books in the series that look like similar imitations of Aesop. I have already ordered one and what looks like a collection of them. We will see!
