- Abstract
- en_US This is one of four four-page cardboard books found -- luckily! -- on eBay. After a full cover picture, each booklet puts a rectangle of text inside a frame of subsequent images on each of the next three pages. Here Jupiter gets angry and wants to give the frogs a lesson. He will not listen when the frogs plead through Mercury to save them from the stork sent as their king. Moral: Leave well enough alone. Every illustration here repays attention. Human dress enriches all three first illustrations. Human weeping and pleading and Jupiter's angry glance at the frogs enrich the fourth picture.
