Abstract
-
en_US
This is a book of forty-three satirical and humorous short stories. They play with animals in human situations. Very frequently the social situations concern marriage, family and especially mothers-in-law, and social standing. Some readers may find the stories cute. The characters are generally named. Crow (27-32) may be typical. Clarissa the crow harps regularly at Calvin, her husband. He takes it for only so long. Actually, it is his kindness to Clarissa that finally leads him to stand on his head to please her. He gets giddy, tells the truth to her, and she explodes into sapodilla trees and exists today in little licorice gumballs. Calvin flies off free. Moral: Even a crow doesn't have to eat crow. Most of the stories have a full-page black-and-white portrait.
