Abstract

en_US Hayashi and Bishop did Fables from the Garden and Fables from the Sea. Here is a third collaborative work. It features ten original fables with an ecological bent. The first three give a sense of them. The first fable has the last silversword plant atop a dormant volcano cry out Please spare me! to the goat kid about to consume it. The kid agrees, and within a few months, new silverswords sprout all around and beautify the landscape. The second fable follows a young bat who does not do his homework -- about bats eating flies. The moral: Failing to study is studying to fail. In the third fable, a young beetle learns at a beetle-picnic not to eat too much: Our stomachs are like pillows; they should be full, not stuffed (11). The art is exuberant, gloriously colorful. Art and text are worked together well to fill the page. There are ecologically sensitive notes on 28-31, including Things You Can Do to Help Hawai'i's Environment and presentations of the Hawaian fauna and flora appearing in the fables. On 32 there is material on the author and the artist, including a photograph of the two.
