Abstract

en_US This book is largely identical with one published in 1998 by Publications International with the same title. It has these differences. This copy has Reader's Digest Young Families on its otherwise identical cover. It includes five stories instead of six; The Cat That Walked by Himself is left out. The book thus concludes on 71, not 87, with only a The End page following. It does give credit on the verso of its title-page to Publications International, the publisher of the earlier book. The latter also holds the 2000 copyright. This title-page illustration includes the first picture from GA by Jason Wolff; the earlier volume's title-page had a picture from The Cat That Walked by Himself. This edition strangely drops mention of TMCM's story adapter, Lisa Harkrader, and its artist, Dominic Catalano, but includes the attributions of the other stories at the beginning of each. Even the endpapers are identical. This book includes TMCM, GA, and AL. The other stories are Brer Rabbit Outfoxes Brer Fox and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. Here are some comments from that earlier volume. The tellings are lively and traditional. Full-page colored illustrations occur about every other page. Among the best illustrations are those showing Alistair, the city mouse, pulling the pillow over his ears in the early country morning. GA's grasshopper seems more interested in sleeping than in singing. He also steals food from the ants in summer. The ants promptly let the grasshopper in during the first snowfall, but they require that he work. His work is to sing for the ants, since winter is their time to play. Next summer he sings Summer work is slow and steady. But when winter comes, I'll be ready! Brer Rabbit's key line is Please throw me into the briar patch and Brer Fox's is Come with me and I will carry you.
