Abstract

en_US The bibliographical information for this fifth book of five is identical with that for the first and third book in this series on Aesop and Krylov; they also share the same years of first and present publication. This book even has the same number of pages, 184. The cover illustration has Fabre out observing insects in the field. This same cover has more claims than I can categorize. Some may indicate the series, like “Rensheng Bidushu” or “Must read in life.” The back cover is effusive in its praise for Fabre’s work and love of life. The illustrations are largely what one might expect. The surprise for me is that so many of the illustrations present not so much insects as Fabre going about his work as researcher of insects. There are many marginal bubbles meant to help parents work with young readers. 6½” x 9½”.
