- Abstract
- en_US This delightful book replicates in paperback a book already in the collection in hardbound. Their main difference seems to be that that book was printed in Spain, while this has been printed in China. As I wrote there, the book takes several engaging ways of making the fables lively. One is the use of rhyme throughout. Others grow out of individual fables, like making the traveler who actually has contact with the bear in TB female (8). In several stories, we have to turn the last page to get a surprise finish. In TH, the tortoise falls into a river along the way, and the race extends into the night and early morning hours. Perhaps the best of the engaging illustrations is on 29: the chagrined losing rabbit faces the other animals. The ending of BW indicates that the wolf is now wearing boy's shoes. The telling of this story was already different in that only one person was expected to rally to the boy's alarm, the shepherd himself who employed him to watch in the night. Do not miss the good illustration of cowering animals in DLS on 43. TMCM (77) is a tour-de-force of the book's best qualities, including a dramatic introduction of the cat. This book has fun with the fables!
