Abstract

en_US This is a lovely book I happened to find when I was trying to spend down the little money left on my Eurocheck debit card in the late days of my stay in Mannheim. The book is unusual in opening not from right to left but from down to up; that is, one needs to hold it sideways and lift the cover. The cover picture shows the half-painted jackdaw as he returns after opening his craw and being recognized by the doves whose food he was eating. Why does his fellow jackdaw have various colored feathers protruding from his black body and even one such feather in his beak? The pearl that the rooster finds in CJ is part of a ring. The little goat dancing for the wolf uses a hula-hoop! The expanding frog in OF is about to reach the ceiling of a modernistic garden-house! He is elevated off the floor like a helium-filled balloon. The one illustration for FS includes both the plate for the stork and the vase for the fox. In fact, the wall behind the stork features several plates and the floor behind the fox shows three large vases with steam bubbles emerging from them. The resting hare in TH has a hammock slung across the trail. The dropped meat bubbles through the text, dividing its lines in DS. The grapes break down through the ceiling of the fox's room in FG as clouds blow through the windows. The city mouse is fishing in the soup at the city meal in TMCM! A highway--or a racetrack?--winds among cheese wedges and salt and pepper shakers in this fable's tailpiece. The rack of the stag in the pool reaches out like a tree and even includes a birdhouse! What lovely imaginative work! The book is, as regularly with Neugebauer, beautifully produced.
