Abstract

en_US
I had had this book on my want-list for some years and never heard a peep about it. Then I found it sitting in the public library's cast-off store for fifty cents! Lucky me! This is a delightful book. Showalter expands the fable's details considerably. Thus the man and his son spent most of their time growing tomatoes, peas, and cucumbers. The donkey was carrying a huge load of their produce to sell; there was never a suggestion that he was to be sold himself. Ungerer takes a page to illustrate the farmer's ridiculous fears, e.g., that the son would melt in the hot sun and, later, that he would become a lonesome old man if he did not raise his son right. Colored and brown-toned pages alternate. I like the colors! Some pencil marks on the pre-title page.
