Abstract

en_US Bright Colored Pages for Girls and Boys, as each identical cover proclaims. There are bright colored pages: four of them, comprising TH and TMCM. All other pages are black-and-white! They present BW (two pages), The Ringdove and the Fowler (and the snake), FG, FC, GA, The Groaning Mountain (two pages), LM (two pages), The Cunning Fox (in the well), BC, FS (two pages), and DS. Each page has six or eight panels. 9¼ x 14¼. In BW, little Ivan from the snow-covered territory rousts people falsely from their beds twice in one night. The wolves kill all his sheep and him that very night. In TH, the tortoise is already asleep in the city when the hare finally gets there! The Groaning Mountain tells the whole story over two pages without ever involving the concept of birth. Fancy a mountain making such a fuss over one tiny mouse. Does the story work without making the groans into labor pains? The mice in TMCM taste even the table cloth! The panels of DS are nicely matched to give side-by-side glimpses of parts of the same scene. Thanks to Ebay for making a book like this available. I may well not have come across it otherwise.
