Abstract

en_US This little book, 5¾ x 6, belongs to the same series as The Tortoise & the Hare from the same year and publisher. Like that book, it has twenty-eight pages, stiff covers, and very thin pages. A paragraph of text appears on each left-hand page under a simple colored design of one or two sheep, while each right-hand page has a full-page colored illustration. The good text includes this comment: The shepherd boy had been lucky and had never seen a wolf, but he didn't think he was so lucky. His victims here are his father and brothers. His response when they come running the first time is to fib I must have made a mistake. His father warns him to be sure that there is a problem before he blows his horn. He blows the horn as soon as they have returned down the hill. The boy fibs again. He tries the trick again as soon as they have gone back down the hill, and his father insists with the brothers that they have to go because he might be in trouble. The fourth time gets no response, but this is a real alarm. Perhaps the best picture of the book shows the wolf carrying off a distraught lamb under each arm. The kind father forgives the son. Losing the sheep is a stiff price to pay, but this is a lesson well learned.
